Nope. No name, ebay, aluminum crap. Spend the extra few bucks and get a B&M or TWM at the least.

My brother had ebay header/short shifter/intake/steering wheel/ and had no problems with a single thing. I know everybody says don't get the ebay crap but I don't know how hard you have to shift to actually break that thing. Quality over price.

I'm not too sure if you'll get any gains out of that header. Doesn't even say the size of the outlet. Be careful with ground clearance.

Actually those short shifters do have a tendency to snap. You might want to find a name brand that makes there out of aluminum.

What is it made from? Anything steel will be better then aluminum. It wont bend or break under stress. Also look for one with sealed bearings so they wont get damaged over time.
