If you get E-bay headers and want the least expensive ones then get OBX, they work pretty good but one thing you MUST do is re-torque the header bolts AT LEAST once a week for about 2 months so you don't develop a gap/leak, if you don't do this then most likely you'll lose MPG

I would be leary if they were not a brand name header such as DC Sports. There's a lot of junk on there that's cheap both in price and quality.

SN: I have OBX from ebay and have never had to re-torque the bolts nor do I have a leak.
