I bought a 90-93 accord intake like a couple people suggested on another post and i got it today....wasnt really what i was expecting..i thought it was 2 pipes but mine came in 1...so i took everything out of the box..they gave me the pipe the filter and all the clamps i needed...took out the old box..cut the pipe to fit..n these are the results:
   dont know how much HP more its giving me... proably like 3-5...i do feel a nice difference though an she screams up stairs

not so sure that i would trust an ebay header, if it doesnt fit its a pain in the ass to send back if you even can send it back and to top it off you have to have some custom work done to even make the pipes long enough on most of the headers on ebay.
