My wife caught me humpin the Header box;) .
Anyway here is what I got for 9.99 plus 32 shipping.
This is how it arrived. Not the best [packing but no major scratches or dings.

Here is a pic of some of the welding. It looks ok to my layman eye.

Here is the inside welding, looks like they partway cleaned it up.

Not a bad lookin header. Sounds like a good deal.
for $42 shipped, that really isnt a bad deal. I am actually impressed. Welds look decent, i would like to see the inside more in person to check it out, but it doesnt look bad at all.

ive seen a bunch of posts and it looks like most of them either crack at installation or the 2 to 1 piece rusts out really bad. the welding is really nice. I hope it will last until I can do my motor mods. :)

looks the same as the one i have. btw, it has held up better that the toucan i run 4 years as far as errosion goes. instead of turning blue, it's turning sligtly yellow.

When you say Donut is that the plug made from lead foil. it looks like a miniature wax plug for a toilet

It actually came with the main gasket, the gasket for the 4 to 2 plate and the plug and bolts for the coupler to the cat.
thanks CrazyC

I had one like that before I got a one peice. Is there a bracket on the down pipe to mount to the back of the motor? If not the gasket will blow out between the bolts that hold it together.

Yes, they're like $8.00 at Autozone.
