Header Help!
I replaced the O2 sensor on my car this weekend (D16Y7) and this is what I saw...

It does not sound like its leaking through the crack, but I am a lil concerned about it. Its one of those ugly cat converter/manifold deals, and I'm thinkin get a header and bolt that into the stock exhaust till I can scrape up enough for the rest of the exhaust...I guess another option would be go to a wreaker and see if I can snag a used one.
If I go to eBay, what brands should I look into or stay away from? I know OBX is hit-and-miss on quality. I can't afford big-brand $400 headers, but I can't afford to repace a cheapie$75 POS every year either! Any info/advice would be great! Thanks in advance

RE: Header Help!
Dont go cheap on a header... that is your engine you're talking about... if anything, place a want ad on the forum for another stock header because there are plenty of people that change them out... just be careful about ebay... alot of poor quality

Megan = around $160 or so http://www.meganracing.com/
Hedmen (Chikara) = around $160 <--I've had a Chikara header for about a year with no problems whatsover (with the exception of the blackpaint burning off ) http://www.summitracing.com/
DC Sports = $300+ for the same quality and performance as the other brands http://www.dcsports.com/

And if youre looking for brands to stay away from, ebay is #1 on your list. They have a horrible reputation, althoguh i've had one for about a year with absoltuely no problems, so maybe i just got lucky.DC is probably the most common brand, they're awesome but really expensive. Same goes forGReddy.But like eeryone else said, a cheap but still quality header would be Megan.

The megan racing header I bought was off of ebay. Just make sure if you buy a megan racing header off ebay the person you buy from has good feedback and policies like shipping insurance. Got mine for $162 with shipping and insurance.

I think I may go with a Megan, but on Monday I'll have my boss look at it. Maybe I can get some of that JB Weld putty stuff and do a patch for now, but like I said I don't hear a leak right now.
