Default Got trashed tonight and bought these

So I've wanted new headers for a while but with rent and other bills haven't been able to pull the trigger, Even though I've been researching them fora while. Well, I went out tonight and got a little tipsy, came some and said F*** it and bought these, the ones I've been pondering over for awhile. What do you think? Good purchase? They seem to be a good value for a guy like me on a budget.

No... From what I've read I think it's best to just buy vette sensors, which I'll pry do today. I know I saw a part number in a thread somewhere.

I'll get a sound clip after they're installed, even though the new catback won't be bought for a couple weeks. They said the headers would get shipped out today. Hoping they get in by Saturday so I can put them on over the holiday weekend. Got them from Texas Speed.
