Imo, the oem quality far surprass the megan header. I would just do a straight trade. Most likely you will need to replace the gasket and look for cracks on the welds.

Depends.

OEM manifolds are worth almost nothing. I wouldn't pay more than $20-30 on top.

I know that but hes not gonna do a straight trade because his car will be sold easier with aftermartket parts than oem parts, he won't trade parts for nothing, do you think so?

Cars are almost never sold easier with aftermarket.

But its not worth more than $20 more and you'll need a couple new gaskets.

In my opinion it's just a straight trade...i would get some gaskets from ur local shop and maybe get that orange sealant for exhaust...do a little around the gaskets and u'll good to go....dont get the coated ones thi, they crack!!

Thanks bro, I might change my mind, too much work for trading parts because i have to take his parts out, my oem parts out then put parts back in both car :(, i better buy parts brand new then i can keep the oems cuz maybe i will need to put them back on somedays.
