Default used headers?

i no you get what you pay for when it comes to anything but i was wondering if buying a used pair of headers was even worth it. Once their on the car arent they pretty much set? I thought the heat made them mold to their surroundings and i would imagine there is a good chance they would leak if they are used. so are they worth it?

nothing wrong with used headers as long as they are in decent condition. they are not a moving vital part
