ebay header

[strat81]

i know the borla header is for the 2.2/2.5 so my question is, think this would fit my ej22?

That will fit the dual port that you have.

see if you have dual port. If so G/L w/non Borla ebay ripoffs, also item is currently out of stock! I have a Slightly USed Borla 17183(2 weeks) for $250 shipped! If you have single port you need 17199

i talked to a guy from rallitek who said he bought a set of headers off ebay from one of those companies. He said he's had both them and borla and said there isnt a difference at all.

i know it's out of stock at the moment but i won't be getting a header for awhile yet. i just saw it on ebay awhile back and thought i'd find out if it'll fit.

thanks guys.

that's the part number

SPEAKING OF BORLA 17199. MINE JUST BROKE. THE MUFFLER GUY SAYS MY ENGINE TORQUED THE HELL OUT OF EM AND THEY FOUND A WEAK SPOT AND CRAKED, WTF. THE MILLION WILE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ANY LABOR CHARGES BY THE WAY. DOES ANYONE ELSE MAKE A SINGLE PORT HEADER FOR EJ22?

Yup, and you have to send the borla back to them for them to fix it, meanwhile you are stuck without a header.

the same thing happened to my single port, but I find the engine torque BS...my exhaust shop tried to say the same thing. Drop the header and take it to a welding shop (NOT AN EXHAUST SHOP, as their welding skills aren't up to par for the most part...this requires skill, as the metal is extremely thin). Have them MIG or TIG weld it. Explain what your exhaust shop said. They will most likely put some welds across the origional seam too, as this will distribute the stress a little.

There's a different theory as to why these things crack that seems more believeable to me. The weld sites are pretty dense and have less surface area as compared to the much thinner pipe. Due to this, the pipe will expand and contract much quicker under the temperature extremes it experience under the car (1000+ degree exhaust, then hit a large puddle, splashing a large amount of water onto it)...this apparently causes weak spots in an already weak part (blame material, IMO). Supposedly, after rewelding the header, you can wrap it and have no problems. I had mine rewelded, but it sounds like it's leaking now, so I may do this over and wrap it this time.

Hope this helps some.
