Default Ichiba Headers

http://www.ichibausa.com/ststheni35.html

Anyone have any experiance w/ these headers. They are at Megan prices lol (hopefully of better quality) and are similar in design to what appears to be borla. Just came across them wanted to know what you guys thought.

not so far with Z. But when I had my old acura GSR, I ordered Ichiba header and it didn't fit. I had to trade it in for DC

i had ordered their "high flow cats". But they were actually resonated test pipes and not high flow cats. Therefore i will never buy any of their products for my Z. I returned the resonated test pipes and it took them 6 months to refund me the money...

They are on here w/ wheel spacers, and everyone recommends them. Do you think they maybe have changed their sales antics?

i don't think ichiba spacers are even hubcentric, which will cause your wheels to vibrate and eventually wear out your hub bearings

you can get the headers if you want. you will pay a grip to install them(2-3x the cost of the headers) or spend a good weekend installing them yourself. if something were to happen to them like cracks and broken welds, maybe putting too much stress on the other exhaust components from off mount points and damaging them, it will be a big headache
