Now I have searched far and wide and canot find a exhaust header for a 1.8L eclipse I dont think the 2.0L will fit I wish I did because there are a lot of options. My question is does anyone know if there is a aftermarket exhaust header for the 1.8L or should I just get a good junk-yard one or get a oem replacement? all help is greatly apreciated.

I found a pretty good oem one for 94 bucks which isnt that bad but money is kinda tight for a while thanks to tuition so welding it seems to be the best option.
