ok so if i were to get a lot of the carolla headers and modify them so you can plug and play them to an ST, how many would be interested? price will be higher than ebay of course, ill have to buy it, modify it then ship it back out. so the total cost might be around 200 shipped????

I have a "crap" header. Its been through 2 other owners, and i haven't had any problems. All the welds are are perfect, ive never had a problem.

im not talking about the pot metal steal, or the fact they pay the people who make the welds a few cents an hr and a bag of rice a week (although thats part of it)
im talking about the crap design of the whole thing, AND the other stuff.

its a header. its 4 tubes welded to a flat surface.
i mean seriously...its not about how long it will last before cracking..thats basic stuff that anyone who can weld will attest to.

you couldnt even buy a quality flange to build a proper header for the cost of the chicom stuff.
