RB N/A Header off of Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Racin...spagenameZWDVW
What do you think guys, should I buy it? Why the heck is it black? I was planning on getting a the RB header/Bonez cat setup for $450, I'd rather just get this and then the bonez cat for $250 though.

because they are black. At least mine was.
Do that, and then take a few minutes to look through the for sale section here. you can find Bonez cats for under $100 if you are patient enough.

No you shouldn't buy it. The guy has horrible feedback rating and he spray painted it black. You have no idea of the real condition. You don't even know if it really is Racing Beat, you can't see the flange.
If I was buying an RX7 part on ebay, I wouldn't tell everyone here... that only gets more bidders and jacks the price up
Nothing wrong with used parts, but make sure the seller is good and you know exactly what you are getting. Doesn't look like you've been ripped off yet.

Also see the RB website for more info on their header before you get a header. Then again the www.rx7.com description seems to imply the same thing. Kinda a cup half empty/half full thing.

I'd ask for more photos, but that looks a lot like the RB header, judging from the section right before it meets the collector. Also, yes, it could be spray painted, but that could also be hi-temp (1200F) paint used for stoves. Why such unfounded negativity? :/

Ummm...he has a 300 rating, with no negative reviews in the past 12 months. You consider that bad?

The OP asked if he should buy it, I was just pointing out some things to consider. It did not look like a good transaction.

300 is not his rating, 300 is the number of transactions he has completed with only 96.3% positive. That is a low positive for ebay. Even if it was painted with 1200 degree paint, that's not enough. Do you know the EGT's? Much higher than that.

I'm also wondering what you would consider acceptable for ratings, because it's more likely he'll buy a defective XBox360 than this be the wrong item (just judging straight of reliability figures, since 360's have a 14% failure rate).

Actually, no I don't know the EGT's, but I'd like to if you know, because I'm actually really interested in it (well, more interested in methods to coat the exhaust systems so they don't rust).
