Hey guys i found this header for cheap and was wondering if its the same as the magnum header??

Would i see any gains from a header like this or would i be better off saving more and getting long tube header??

cheapo header

you can get the same header on Ebay for less. I have a similar header on ym 2000ES. I sam some bottom end improvement but much more in the mid range. It was decent bang for the buck. Don't know much about the long tube, but most folks here seem to like them so maybe someone else will chime in. Don't expect that header to stay all shiney, mine sure didn't. Good luck with your mods. :rockon:

It's not the same as the Magnum header.
However, it should still give a good bang for the buck, like g-force said.

Never let anyone tell you that you can't. The only reason why people say that, is because someone told them they can't and they listened.

The OBX shorty header is a little cheaper and might be better quality: http://www.ssaccessories.com/servlet/th ... der/Detail

The one I had was a nice piece, the welds were really nice. It's said to be a copy of the magnum header and it looks pretty close to me.
