i bought a stillen header on ebay and the guy said it was scratched and in very good condition. i got it today and one of the runners is flat from where it was bottomed out i guess. should i leave the guy a neutral feedback. also, how can i tell it really is a stillen. on the side of the flange that touches the head, there is an st etched in it with what looks like a dremel. is that was he does on his headers. thanks for the help in advance.

ha. yeah i did send him a pm saying he should have stated that in the auction. i also said that he needs to compensate me in some way. i know it hurts flow. he has 100% positive, so it is wierd that it is like that. here is a link to the auction.

Definately leave negative feedback. Flattened runner really is not "only scratched" nor "good condition". According to your description, that header is useless and you'be been cheated. Didn't you see any pics of it before buying?

my Stillen had no identifiy marks. I got one from the first run, they didn't even know if it would fot a 1.5L motor.
Looking at the ebay pic, Mine has a full flange, that has a cheapo flange, but by looking at the tubing, it appears to be a Stillen.
What is the ID/OD of the outlet?

leave negative feedback and if it cost you more than 50 bucks file a claim if you paid through pay pal, if less than 50 bucks its not worth it cause paypal gets 25 or 50 bucks if they collect it for you

the guy is giving me 20bucks, so i will leave him a positive. still sucks though. it is on my car now. the runners are longer on this header than my old one, but my old one had a tad bigger primaries. we will see how it does.
