They look exactly like the ones I got from eBay seller ap1ap2. The passenger side fit without a problem, the drivers side needed alot of clearancing for the steering shaft, and very slight clearancing for the k member. Y pipe fit no problem. Overall I'm very happy with them. They tuck up nice for long tubes. Just toss the clamps they come with and get yourself some band clamps.

Its just that pinch point between the center 2 primaries, they are 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 stepped.

I installed these headers on a bone stock car about 2 months ago.
I have no complaints as far as the passenger side goes. Remove the heat shield or trim it and your good to go.
The driverside needed substantial "clearancing" on the #3 or #5 primary to get the steering shaft to even go on at all, let alone actually clear. It also hit on the rear most part of the k member, and forget about an oil cooler..
The one I worked on didn't have any exhaust beyond the y pipe and I had to use the shitty clamps they came with (cheap *** customer, lol) with that said, the y pipe did hit the floor pan around the tranny crosmember area...

All in all, I guess you can't complain about stepped headers for less than $300 bucks.

ive now installed 2 sets, one on a A4 z28, and one set on a 95 m6 TA

on the TA it fit good on the pass, but number 1 primary needed denting to clear the steering shaft. owner has no other complaints except about plugs.

on the z28 passenger side hits the body of the car bad and needed the transmission ear trimmed off, same steering shaft problem on the drivers as well as it rubs on the kmember an car has a nasty vibration at idle inside. still have more work to do on the car but its not mine so dont see it often i just installed them

The current ebay headers are hit and miss, more miss usually. The old ones from eworldsales were very good. 6LITEREATER on here had a hand in the design of them. 2 of my friends have them and fit well.

Yeah I want those headers too but I don't think their coming back, the pacesetter design seems to have less fitment issues

I just sent a message to 'eworldsales1' to see if he still could get his headers or where they can be found... I just noticed theres also 'epartsgogo' selling headers too but they look like every other set available

considering EVERY listing for stainless LT1 headers has the same design, same pics, and weird blue clamps, I'm willing to bet they're all from the same mfgr


Edit: Response from 'eworldsales1' - "they're no longer made and I dont have any more"

26 rwhp and 31 rwft/lbs on my car from just installing these headers from stock, whole curve was higher as well, no loss anywhere. That was after bashing the snot out of the driver's side one with a 5 lb sledge to make room too. What the hell, they were only $300...
