Heads up on E-Bay Headers

[bullettdsm]

This might be just for the newbies to read, but I wonder how many out there have 4-1 headers on that they think are 4-2-1 headers. I found out the hard way that there are many E-bay headers listed as 4-2-1 headers that are actually 4-1 headers. I purchased what they claimed were 4-2-1 headers from a site (even though the pic seemed to show a 4-1 header). They, of course sent me a 4-1 header and when I wrote them they claimed ignorance. For the record (and a repeat of other threads) a 4-1 header is just what it says; 4 pipes into 1. While a 4-2-1 header is 4 pipes into 2 pipes into 1 pipe! Duh. for those of you who may notice that you lost some bottom end when you installed your 4-2-1 header, check to be sure that you don't have a 4-1 header.

And yes I know that E-Bay can suck, but for something like headers, that may be changed later on, I see no problem.

It's Sprinter91801. To their credit they refunded the cash but they not only did not address their error on E-Bay, I lost about one month work of labor time waiting.

Funny enough I've bought from that seller before but never any performance products, just little things.

I had the same thing but I couldn't decide which one to get before I bought it so I really didnt care which one I got.
