header identification

I recently purchased some headers for 130 and was told they are after market. I trusted the seller and bought it. I come home and look and there isnt any identification on it (so its definitely not racing beat). What else could it be and what do the stock headers look like...hopefully I didnt get fucked on this one...

More like a bathtub. If you can't see the difference between the stock mani and headers you might have been screwed.

Here's a stock header on ebay

They don't look remotely aftermarket, so you probably didn't get screwed.

I think I still got fucked...It isnt racing beat and I think its meant for the 12a not the 13b. There isnt a place for the 02 sensor and there isnt a collector. Can anyone identify it by the picture? I want to resell it but cant if I dont even know what im selling for sure.



I feel like an idiot...I thought forum members could be trusted.

It's a Dual Road race Type header,but it looks like it's been Home-made..the Things aren't supposed to have a collector as they run Dual to a Dual Flange..You can make it collected though.Look into Racing Beats Exhaust Parts Section,they Sell the flanges,and you can put a O2 bung in there too.

Even if it was home made it doesn't look to be poor quality. Weren't there pictures of the header on the listing?
