Knockoff PPE headers
I just saw this and thought I should share. 
Hopefully this isn't a double post.

What makes me uneasy is that there's so many mispellings. LOL

those are not knock offs of the ppe
They are knock offs of the megan. Check enjukuracing for megan. The sell about the same as those ones. You can check the price of the ones you linked to on ebay.
the ppe header knockoffs are the obx, which you can also check on ebay.
Guess who was looking at headers yesterday?

There were some on ebay that were $200 or less as I recall (looked like the ones linked above). Some said the workmanship was going to be shoddy, but provided they fit, I bet they'd still outperform stock, even if you added in a real cat, the equivalent of stock. Even with the uneven pipe length and mediocre collector. Stock manifolds just aren't that difficult to beat efficiency wise. Now how MUCH they'd improve performance and how long they'll last are different questions.
BTW, OBX, from what I can tell are a pretty legitimate company. Can't speak to quality, but they do seem to make a number of different products and have been around a while.

Those are not a similar design to ours. Nore do they have a solution for the CEL. They are not authorized to use our name either.
BTW OBX quality is poor and they offer no customer support. They have an F rating with the BBB and have been sued and lost multiple times. A search of OBX Racing and BBB Will show you their rating. You can also see their poor reviews on their own Facebook page.
Buyer beware
Our products can be purchased from multiple dealers including Enjuku.

So if they really are knockoff's of the Megan, I wouldn't recommend Megan to anyone as well. lol I will be going with PPE as soon as funds allow.

I agree. I had an OBX header on my old beater Corolla before I sold it and that thing gave me nothing but headaches with the build quality. It cracked 3 times, all in different spots, caused a knocking engine sound, broke my engine mounts, and rattled against the firewall because it didn't quite fit right. LOL So if they really are knockoff's of the Megan, I wouldn't recommend Megan to anyone as well. lol I will be going with PPE as soon as funds allow.

As for OBX they have their good reliable parts and bad parts. When I was more into honda's OBX made a great high flow intake manifold for a decent price, ant ITB's. Then again, I was never really a fan of their exhaust stuff. I heard the only thing actually worth buying that was OBX exhaust wise was their resonators because they had a good deep sound. Im more of a don't knock it if you haven't tried it guy
