to eBay or not to eBay

I bought one that was really cheap in cost just to see if they really do fall apart and I have like 5000 miles on it and nothing yet. No cracks or anything. I heat wrapped it and it seems to work great. Might fall apart but has not yet so I was suprised by it. For the price just go for it and see what happens.

Can you see the welds with the heat wrap on? Hairline cracks are hard to see without removal of the manifold and a closer inspection.

Yes I can see them and there is nothing. It has been a really good header/manifold for me nad it has gotten REALLY hot. They do a really good job in the inside as well for cleaning up the welds and the spots where the pipes all meet together.

Just because the welds are "clean" does not mean that flow characteristics are good.

I did not say that it had a good flow to it I was just pointng out that they dont leave shit there because they clean it all up.
