Part brands and ebay
I'm on a tight budget but I want to keep my car good so I'm looking for good deals. I'm asking for your opinion on quality (not performance enhancements) as in reliability of these items:
-Exhaust manifold/cat converter: Thinking of buying off ebay here
-Spark plugs: Going for mpg not performance. (no performance decrease either) Any suggestions?
-02 sensor: Anyone have a website they bought theirs from? Don't give me the site unless you actually bought one from there.
Thanks a lot!

Actually Buying on ebay is about the same price as buying used from the junkyard. These things are goin for over 400 new :/ and I can get a used one for like 220. The 02 censors are expensive too... like 200ish. That's why I was wondering if there was a cheaper place to get those. Thanks though!

Yeah... for some reason when I looked the first time it was really expensive but I must have been looking at the wrong part b/c it is like $60. Would there be any quality problems with buying the manifold off of ebay? And the spark plugs - does it matter the brand? I'd be willing to pay a tad extra if they increase mpg.

I brought a Header off of Ebay about 6 weeks ago...It DOES turn from a nice silver to a rainbow-gold in a few seconds after you start the car up. Ummm...thing is I have heard MANY complaints about Ebay headers coming up short when attaching to the Cat. Mine comes up about 2-3 inches short but I managed to pull the cat & catback towards the front & made it work from there.
Funny thing is...it cost only $35..shipping included($10 header..yup!)
I just suggest you get Platinum plugs since they last at least 75,000 miles, Bosch are the cheapest at Autozone, I got them 10 months ago & no problems since.
I know people are gonna say "Bosch!?!?!? Aggghhh!! How could you!?!?". But they been good to me so far.
