Ebay headers and Cat back questions Hey guys ill make this short. Here are the three link i have found on ebay for these "Ebay Headers"
AP1AP2http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_5039wt_1032
Speed_Daddyhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CAMAR...ht_3724wt_1008
OBXhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/OBX-L...#ht_2085wt_939
It seems AP1AP2 is no longer selling those headers, OBX seems much more expensive and it doesnt include a y pipe. The speed daddy's have everything! for a very cheap price. I've had plenty of problems with my Pacesetters and too many exhaust leaks.
So who is using the "Speed Daddy" headers? Are there any difference between all three headers? They all seem to be designed on the same jig.
Im also considering buying a cat back system since my previous exhaust was dumped with a moroso spiral flow muffler and just sounded like crap.
I will be running those headers, the y pipe included, no cats and cat back. Im hoping for a deep and throaty sound so GMMG instantly got my attention but unfortunately im on a budget
i found magnaflow for a good price!
If anyone is running the magnaflow please chime in! im trying to avoid any RASPY sounds. I hate it with a passion! lol But please chime in guys! ill really appreciate it!

yea thats what it looks like! Just hoping im not gonna have anymore problems with headers! I already have the steering column ground down since the Pacestters wanted to give me trouble! ha
I just bought a set of the ap1ap2 headers & y-pipe last night. I'm not expecting much but for the price and how much I will drive the car I feel they will be adequate.
I read a few threads about them before buying and most are happy with the purchase. A few suggested using a hammer for more clearance (I expect to use a hammer on most header installs...)

I got the speedDaddy's and there are some clearance issues. Some say to get Felpro gaskets instead of the one's provided. I didn't have any exhaust leaks until I unbolted my drivers side to grind the k-member. Bolting it back on was a bitch cuz the gasket kept getting pinched. finally got it on and had a little leak on the middle cylinders. All in all, $300 spent on the SpeedDaddy's was worth every penny. I just wish I knew where and how to make clearance before I installed them the 1st time.
On my car, yes, but my car has been wrecked before. Most don't have a problem. On mine, one of the primaries (I think #2?) rubs on the inside of the engine compartment. I have my motor out as we speak and I've made the corrections. The motor hasn't gone back in yet, but I'm confident I've eliminated all the problems where the headers were contacting the car. Driver's side is just the steering knuckle and K-member. I heated the headers and the k-member to flatten out some areas with a hammer.
i went with some other brand ebay headers. Running into some of the same issues i ran into with my pacesetters to its whatever.
Be sure to bring a BFH or a BFG, your going to need them or want them lol.
