received headers from ebay but.... - 4/10/2007 2:35:56 AM    trukid21 Posts: 171 Joined: 5/16/2006 Status: offline got my headers in from ebay but i'm concerned about the way it would fit in my car. i believed stevent was the one that mentioned that since it cost me $67 bucks. my issue is when i put them together just to visualize it attached to my engine it does not look straight. is it suppose to angle up like about 5-10 degrees (i think) cuz if i attached the top piece and looking at it from the top it should be straight down then it goes horizontal for the other connection right? but with this new header if i attached the top section flushed with the block, the down pipes is angled in which makes the bottom part were you would connect the 2nd piece raise up, then if you attached the 2nd piece that makes it worse. it does not look right, or is it suppose to be that way? but i don't think you would not attached pipings in that kind of angle.i wish i could take picture of this but i don't have a camera. I'm gonna call the seller and let them know about this and hopefully they could replace it.     _____________________________ 96'''''''' accord f22b1 vtec 5 sp m/t aem sri, 234,621 miles eibach prokit/kyb shocks ngk iridiumIX plugs and plug wires magnaflow straight flow muffler 2-1/4" custom catback piping front strut bar/rear tiebar Post #: 1

I say just put it all together, header/downpipe/exhaust, and see how she's lining up. If it doesn;t line up right, you may have ordered the wrong header or the company may have sent you the wrong one. Good luck. _____________________________ 1999 Honda Accord "EX"(SOLD) 1996 Nissan 240sx "SE" (in reply to trukid21) Post #: 2
