looking into a new o2 housing for my CA and ebay has some nice divorced ones for ~75 shipped but ive heard shady things about ebay parts (i wouldnt get the ss autochrome one). has anyone had luck with these? the best other thing I found was a megan racing non-divorced o2 housing for 115+ shipping. any input on these ebay o2 housings?

a feind of mine has one of the ss ones. it hits the steering arm so he had to take and bit it in to make it fit.

i have a greddy style "undivorced" from off ebay and it work's fine. the problem with the ebay ssautocrap is the inconsistancy of fitment and manufacturing. but somtimes you get lucky

I run a megan racing one, it worked ok with megan racing downpipe and stock manifold, and it works pretty much the same with my SSAC bottom mount tubular race manifold. The DP will hang an inch or two below the frame rail though, and it gets dented up there driving on the street (from running SR stuff). but it fits fine other than that. the construction of my megan racing stuff is top notch too. I'm selling my megan racing 02 housing for $50 plus shipping as soon as my turbo gets in btw.

I have the red dog motorsports I believe it is downpipe and o2 housing (undivorced) and it fit fine for me.

if u are using sr 02 dump then u have to use sr downpipe and sr downpipe hits s13 rails when used on ca18. SO

use ca 02 dump and ca downpipe.

jsut buy the ssautochrome kit comes with manifold, 02 dump and downpipe for 125.00+ shipping. and if u dont want to use the manifold and such then sell it. but the dp works perfect on stock ca manifold and 02 dump.

and a work from the guys at ssauto,

out dump pipes wewre designed by xs power to be used TOGETHER which is why we sell it as a kit and not seperate in most occasions. ca18 ss manifold is to be used with ss 02 dump.

I'm running an SSAC SS equal length mani, SR T25, and a Flyn dump pipe (O2 and downpipe are one peice).

Everything fits perfect, doesn't hit the steering linkage, and it BARELY below the frame rail. I've never scraped it on anything, but I'm at stock ride height.

I think thats BS, I use megan racing o2 and dp and it fit exactly the same on my XS manifold as it did on my stock one.

The single undevorced elbow seems to be the best one for fitment and the devorced one seems to be a cheap copy that wouldnt work so well. But they dont sell the "single huge" elbow as a kit from SSA, either that or I am not very observant. Anyone got a link for it?
