How can you tell if a header will actually fit your car if buying it second hand? Can you tell if it is bad just by looking at it?

 

Take a Straight Edge ruler and lay it flat on the header (where it bolts up to the head). If it lays flat its good, if you see a gap underneath the ruler in the middle (or anywhere) then its no good. Another thing....dents are ok but they must be minor. No dents is best. Simple enough.

 

perfect, thanks.

 

No prob man. Good Luck.
