I'm sure you'll get what you pay for, don't know if that's good, bad, or both.

I'd try asking in the External Engine forum. I'm sure the thread won't last long b/c they hate threads in there about "ebay headers", but at least you'll get some feedback while it's live.

Just go with hooker headers and call it a day I love my hooker headers 399.00 shipped on ebay and the come with all the hardware you need thats were you get your price difference.No o2 extenders no bolts no block off plates and then they might hang to low and youll be scraping everything.I saw a couple of ls1tech members here on the for sale section that are selling some hooker headers you might get a better deal than 399.00

I have never seen these on ebay nor doI know anyone who has bought them. The one thing that I have learned over many years of modding cars is that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I wouldn't trust them. I have seen header flanges come in brand new and be warped or the welds are bad and they leak. Let us know if anyone tries these. I am curious to know how they work out. Good luck.

Basically what everyone says that you pay for what you get. I didnt finish reading about them, but basically they think they are knock offs and that they wont be a good selection. Somone bought them and had to cut and re weld somehtin...

Hey Drew, just buy some Pacesetters, not much of a price diff and you know what you're getting.

there so cheap cuz there china made headers, be careful with china crap they tend to have bad welds and the flanges tend to not line up at all and ive heard of some cases where u have to drill the bolt holes slightly bigger since they dont align right, remember you get what you pay for so watch out.
