i was wondering...is it safe to buy performance parts on ebay?
also i was wondering what do u guys/gals recommend. equal length or unequal length headers?

 

^^^^^I recommend Grimmspeed

 

If you know what your looking at and know the right questions to ask it is. Know how to spot a fake or piece of **** part.

 

and dont forget to look @ their feedback...it can tell a lot about a seller...

 

X2.......otherwise UEL all the way.
I was wondering about those front mounts on ebay. I know XO2 is kinda crappy, but for $200 i don't know how they make much money, unless the core is crap also.

 

oh no u didn't just post this... dude dont let me call u lol.

 

I agree,..

check out their feedback and its like a gauge to trusting them on your part.. The less the feedback or number of sales, the more you gotta be careful.

Pay using Paypal and be sure they are verified...


As for manifolds, Grimmspeed is cool cause its oem looking and what I am using now that is coated with coated crosspipe too..
I had the Gruppe-S V2 coated headers I sold to my friend and they were lighter in weight, but you can get money back if you return your oem manifolds to Grimmspeed...

 

PnP your stock manifolds and get a high-flow crosspipe from grimmspeed.

 

^^^^Thats what i did....Now i have to Ship my OEM Manifold back and get my $140 back. Great Manifold Exhaust IMO!!!

Grimmspeed FTW. Even there Gaskets are Sick. SUPER THICK!
You can even get a EGT Tap if you have a EGT Gauge.

 

Grimmspeed makes unequal? or is it equal?
... and im assuming with these grims, the wrx rumble will sound more like a sti?

 

Grimmspeed uses OEM Exhaust Manifolds and Thermal Coats them and PnPʻs them. Crosspipe can fix to fit. It is Worth the Money. I Heard that if you get a Aftermarket Exhaust Manifold that you canʻt really tell a difference. With the Grimmspeed setup I can tell a difference.

 

is the megan steel turbo exhaust manifold legit?

 

Buying ebay performance parts is like using 'the pullout' as a birth control method. Yea it can work, but it isn't always worth the risk.
Myself, I've had some good and bad experiences with ebay stuff. Really just depends on the part.

 

Whatever you do, do not buy ebay manufactured turbos. They will smoke up and make all kinds of noises. Although they are cheap and nice looking, do not be fooled. Buy authentic as much as possible. Make sure to email sellers any questions you have about their parts.

 

Thanks for the info guys. yeah im jus taking my time looking around to see what good and what not. also i dont wanna get ripped off on a cheap fake. like they all say "u get what u pay for". LOL. idk a friend told me to stop going for looks and build my motor. Thanks Ryan (Kyoshi).
