So Friday night my exhaust manifold cracked, suprise, suprise , lol. Saturday am, I welded it up so at least it's not in danger of breaking further, just to buy me a few days or so. Rather than just going with stock replacement, I figured I might as well spend a few extra pennies for an upgraded unit. I searched around the net and for opinions here (via search option), and I see the general opinion of the APN stainless header/manifold is about the best bang for the buck.

Ok cool, so, here's my question, I see they are sold at the iNeedparts store.

To me, this seems to be the same product I've seen on ebay as seen here.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JEEP-...item5d2d059817

Am I correct to assume this? Or might this be a knockoff that I will kick my self in the hind for buying, lol?

Just to clarify a little, my only reason for not buying the one from the website is that it would be just one more vendor with my info, I try not to stretch too far out there, lol.

 

You'll save 20 bucks if you buy the one in the first link, looks the same as the ebay header. Not sure how much extra performance you'll get, but the price is right.

 

Looks the same the only thing I could see being different is the quality of the welds.

 

Thanks for the replies, to me the ebay one *looks* better, but unfortunately it is a generic photo that they use, so basically they took a picture from the manufacturer that is of their best work, lol. That's what I don't like about online buying like this, what's pictured isn't always what you get, lol. I did a little further reading into some of the sellers of it, many had nothing good to say. Anyone have any personal experience with the iNeedparts company? Just curious as to their customer service rap....
