my friend totaled his neon (dohc)98 so he said that i could get whatever parts i wanted . he has pretty much every thing i have except the header.i was i mean i am going to get a headman header so i can bolt on straight to my cat due to the strick emission law here in memphis .well he has the ebay header so until then i might install his but before i do i was wondering i know you pay for quality but is performance the same no matter what kind of header.

 

i had an ebay header on one of my cars and it worked great....
the main difference between headers is long tube and short tube

 

i think my car has an ebay headder on it now, sounds pretty good with the flowmaster too. I don't know the exhaust system is the way it was when i got the car.
