Default Ebay longtubes...thoughts?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT

Any thoughts on these? I am not trying to be a cheap-***, but if I can save myself some money by buying something almost as good as a set of $400 headers than I am all about it. thanks.

*EDIT*

I am only asking about the QUALITY of these manifolds. The link is only there so people can view the product. I understand the rules say I am not suposed to post ebay links, but how else can I have input on something people cant view for themselves?

i actually just bought the stainless ebay headers about three weeks ago, installed them last week. no fitment issues for me at all, passenger went right in, driver side took a little elbow grease then went right in as well. the only thing, depending on what year you are you need to get the air and egr valves cut off and welded shut, sound is badass, i have a lanes 3 inch true dual with dynomax bullets and its loud and sounds good. i would say go for it. stainless header at an unbeatable price.

I had a set of these. The driver side rubbed on the frame a little, but I notched it out and it was fine. I also cut the air and egr valves off and welded shut. I would defentaily buy another set.

Saw a set of those on a car at our local tuners shop. Like jordan 98 z28 said they did hit the frame rail on D side. On this car it required a lot more clearancing than I would have wanted to do on my car. He used an air hammer to contour the frame rail to the pipe. It took about 3/4 of an inch to clear and get it to stop hitting when the car was driven. Welds and flange quality were decent though for the price.

You need to read the sticky in reguards to posting ebay header threads! You have broke 2 of the 4 cardinal rules about posting ebay header threads. If you do not fix this the moderators will remove your thread!

1: I DID read the sticky.

2: I only broke one rule, not 2.

3: added a note to my OP.

Next time just PM me.

Just got mine in today too. They're not 100% stainless though. Let me double check on this though but; if I take a magnet to them it's not supposed to stick to them correct?

I just ordered a set from a different seller on eBay last week. Quality seems pretty good. Still haven't gotten them on though. I'm letting the shop put them in though, because they're fabricating the whole rest of the system. (True duals w/ an H-pipe)
