received headers from ebay but....
 

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 itshould be straightdown then it goes horizontal for theother connectionright? but with this new header if i attached the top section flushed with the block, the down pipes is angled in which makesthe bottom part were you would connect the 2nd pieceraise up, thenif you attached the 2nd piece that makes it worse.it does not look right, or is it suppose to be that way? buti don't think you would not attached pipings in that kind ofangle.i wish i could take picture of this but i don't havea camera.I'm gonna callthe seller and let them know about this and hopefully they could replace it.

The header isn't gonna be sitting at a perfect 90 degree angle. 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.

if it doesnt fit, bring it to a place that can bend it to make a good fitment.

^ Yeahh...that's about the best you can do w/o professional tools and what not.

RE: received headers from ebay but....
 

what place would that be? like a muffler shop that could heat it up and straighten it out? or some welder place?i just did not want to waste time putting it in and and then finding out its off then put my old one back on. i know that is the only way i could find out but.....[:@]i'll just cross my finger and hope for the best. thanks for your inputs.

^ just go to midas or something. it should not cost that much to make it fit in your car.

What kind of headers did you get? We have pretty much the same engine and I just installed my Obx 4-2-1's yesterday. I may be able to help.

hey i did the same thing and it will angle up that much

brewmeister, how do you find these headers? Easy to install? Loud? Feel more power?

i'm not really sure what the namebrand is but it is cheap price.i also notice that the connecting flange on the second piece that attaches to the cat is welded crooked.i guess i'm gonna talk to those guys that welded my exhaust and see it they could fix it. hey buntinboy9, how much angle updid your headers showed? and whatdid you dotofix it?

I'm sorry trukid21 that they might be the wrong set for your car, all I can say is E-bay seller's (not all of them) [:'(]
Selling parts that some of them dont even know what fits is what you end up with in there more and more every day..

Good luck, and I mean it getting those on your car...OBX! |Yes they fit good on every car I've ever put them on...

yeah... it sucks to know that shipping it back would cost me as much as i paid for it. i'm just gonna try my luck on the re-bending the tubes.if it does not work, i will purchase obx as soon as money is available.i'll keep my stock just in case.nice avatar brewmeister..:D

RE: received headers from ebay but....
 

no i know what your talkin about did the same with mine i had to tac another flat piece to the end of the header and then took it off and welded it after i did that it sat flush but also warning i had to feweld the bracket that led the header to the engine because i built a new one and bolted it back on... dont worry bout putting the bracket on at all i havnt and ive had no problems whatso ever

RE: received headers from ebay but....
 

sorry but i don't get it, how did you what?? can you get me pics on your mod,so i could see what you did,i'm kindda person that has to see it to get it:)but it does sound like a good way of fixing it. if it work for you it should for me.but the end flange (to the cat)on my second piece definitely needs to be adjusted.thanks again buntinboy9.
