Default Stainless Headers on EBay < $300!?

Saw these on Ebay for less than $300 including shipping. Too good to be true for stainless?

putting them on will probably be fun. do a search on ebay headers and read the crap people have gone through trying to make them fit. id just save for the $450 xs stainless steel headers sold on here.

Most of what you will find on Ebay headers,,,is about the XS headers!!!!! They used to be sold on Ebay,,this is becoming a confusing topic because there are now about 3 or so versions of "ebay headers",,,XS used to be one, im not sure if they are still sold on there or not,,but i dont recall seeing them lately......

i can second tainted on those NOT being "the original" ebay headers, xs. Those are from California, whereas the XS's sold on ebay came from North Carolina.

I love my XS and given another chance would get them again, highly reccomend if youre looking for a bidget header. feels good to be able to say that now, i got censored when they frist came out for them not being a sponsor

Hello everyone. I'm the sponsor selling what now used to be the XS headers. We have been dealing with this ebay problem for awhile now. It seams that someone has bought our headers and copied them. We no longer sell any of our headers on Ebay We are the only ones selling what used to be the XS headers. I say that because from now on our headers will be listed under our name: LPP they will be LaMonte Performance Parts Headers. I have looked at the ones on ebay and believe me they look very cheap. For one they are made out of 304 stainless just like all the other stainless headers out there not 321 like ours are. And as pointed out the drivers side collector looks like it's pointed way up in the air now (bad copy job) I have also read post in a couple of other threads here about people trying to contact the companys listing on ebay now and getting no responce. I read someones thread that bought one of the sets and never received them and are trying to get there money back now. So to clear everything up the old XS headers will from now on be LPP headers and we will never sell them on Ebay.

Thanks,

Carl

CEO, LPP

Thanks,

Do you have a webpage link or any information about purchasing your headers?

Here's my theory on the ebay/XS/LPP headers ... I think they're being manufactured in China and a number of different distributors spec out their own versions and sell them in different venues and under different names. Ultimately, they all come from the same source. They are too similar to be otherwise. The ones pictured above have the same cocked ds collector as the XS headers.

Probably welded together by lil kids in a factory in China. LOL.

They look ok, but one does have to question the fitment of such a "cheap" piece
