I know eBay is one of the last places to go to for parts, but...

I need a set of headers as I've cracked mine and had it welded up, but would like a nice undamaged set.

Getting hold of them isn't easy so was just wondering if anyone had an opinion on the following:



link to ad on eBay

Thoughts?

 

Wms racing do them for £250 wouldn't touch eBay ones

 

thank you, I checked their web site but they don't have much on there. I've emailed them

 

I need these in my life:

RCM twin scroll headers

It wont let me copy/save the pic... they're too $exy looking!

£130 ...eBay
£250 ...WMS
£675 ...RCM without heat wrap
£760 ...RCM with heat wrap

 

I've heard tales of people losing up to 50bhp with eBay headers Could be complete lies mind!

 

so much development and testing goes in to the top brand headers, so I guess cheap ebay jobbies will never be as good... but to loose bhp, now that's not fun!!

 

we can always assist with RCM parts & pricing

 

Wouldn't bother with ebay ones or the wms ones. I have the wms ones on mine n slip joints are leaking. Cheap headers jst like ebays ones.

 

I contacted wms but they said they only do single scroll.

leaking slip joins isn't good! I know there needs to be some movement and thought the ebay ones would be ok with the flexi pipe.

I would love the RCM ones, but my budget wont let me spend £700+ for them

 

I run the RCM headers on mine, wouldn't run anything else tbh

 

Aren't the standard twinscroll headers suitable for your application?

 

if you want a set of standard ones that have been ceramic coated, drop me a PM

 

That's interesting to know about the wms ones my friend was looking at them to get in a couple weeks.

 

I literally emailed them yest and they got back with exactly that... only single scroll headers apparently.

 

pm'd

 

Wouldn't bother. i regret buying them. I'm going to buy proper gt specs/rcms now

 

I guess you get what you pay for. You know that RCM test to levels of extreme brilliance. Whatever you buy from there is worth the money for the parts and the research gone in to producing them

 

but still 700 quid... ouch lol

 

You pay for what you get

 

Thanks for the heads up veerinder9 did you get any warranty with wms? Where they helpful on after sales?

 

Agreed

 

if the car is your love like mine is to me, buy once & buy proper

 

There isnt much "development" in the RCM/GTspec ones etc, the RCM ones are copies of the GTSpec/Tomei manifolds, its a very old design that hasnt changed in years....

 

I knew ud come along soon lol. Gimme ur killer bs

 

Nope, all mine!!!!!!

Get your own! :P

 

I read up on the tomei headers and found a place in USA that supplies them but they didn't have a price, I guess that means ££££ lol

They put **** loads of research into the tomei ones so if therm are simply copies but copied well then I can't really argue with that.

 

Strange logic there....

The toyosports ones are copies too.....

 

Just saw this sorry, was sent out mikalor clips to sort them but didn't work. They just dont line up well. Then was told that they do new set same as gt spec but only in two bolt flange. Nothing came off it n i couldnt be bothered to chase

 

Honestly, you'll be hard pressed to beat the flow of OEM twin scroll headers. I would only be changing mine if I were going big boy power.

 

OEM twin scroll headers and up pipe are by far the best ... which is why I use them on my own car :-)
