first off, this needs to be moved to the 420a forum, and second unless your motor is turbod i see no reason to put racing headers on.

Wow.
Anyways, for the $300+ they go for, i'd buy something with a solid reputation in the DSM community. Although i'm not one on spending that much cash for such little gains, you can do what you want.

How is this header I found on eBay? Think it's any good?

Well, as most people say, pipe is pipe...I can only assume so...

My main concern is, will they fit against my OEM cat?

A pipe is not just a pipe when it comes to aftermarket headers, or exhaust manifolds. The ones they sell on e-bay are thin, and poorly welded.

Oh. Well, if it breaks...while in use...I'll just put the manifold back on lol...

It works though, right?

(my main question is still "will it fit? It has a 2 inch diameter pipe, so how big is the entrance pipe of the catalytic?")

It'll prob fit fine, but if you have to ask yourself "Who makes it?" I wouldnt trust it to hold up very long.
