I have heard a lot of complaints about these headers and the guy that sells them.

They're headers.

Cheap, fast, or reliable. You can only pick two.

Oh shit!

I just now went back to check that header, and saw that it was from Bill.

 

I guess you can't choose any of those!

I bought one of those headers on the cheap, off eBay years ago.

I took it to my buddies shop where he

A. Used a press to straighten the flange

B. Weld up a hole where one of the runners met the flange,

C. Grind the the collector smooth and flat. And notch the flange for clearance.

So basicly it was a POS that you worked on to make it fit, but it was worth it cause you got it cheap.

They are headers -- of course they don't fit right. Don't you guys remember the 1970s??? Often you had to do minor mods to fit them.

 

Those particular ones were the same before Bill purchased them and he's now selling them off.

 

Or buy these, only $700. Your choice.

I got one from someone on here for about $60 shipped. It's sitting in my garage because I'm putting it on when I do my ITB's.

 

I have a feeling from comparing it to bills pics, that it's on of his headers. I was told it doesn't fit with the factory intake. Haven't tried yet.

if your referring to Bills Datsun there is no "Bill" just a dude name Jock.

 

 

Iv seen nothing but crap products and work come out of there for the Datsun community.

I went there once to look at the header being discussed, I left there feeling belittled, I won't be going back. BTW, the header he was selling did not look like this one. I recall one of the tubes being routed differantly, but I could be wrong, it's been a few years. wayno

Should it have been included in your post that you do not want an eBay header then?

You asked for one. It's there.

 

Do you really think you can pull enough power out of your A motor to need a header?

I could agree with that, I did expect I would have to mod it, but Not deal with a warped flange like I did

Street motor no. Old itc motor yes enough. Nissan comp header fits real nice. Don't know if still available.
