Default Stainless Ebay headers question

Which stainless LT's are you guys buying off ebay now that the XS headers are gone. Ive found some from dptmotorsport that look good for around $250 shipped. Anyone have any experience with these? Ive also found the OBX headers but the primarys are only 1.5in so Im steering clear of those.

I just installed the stainless(ebay) headers $225.00 delivered. I had the drivers side header V-notched level and rewelded ($30.00) at a exhaust shop. Did the install myself, excellent fit. So for $255.00, I have stainless LT's.

Well I kinda lost interest and an engagement ring lol. Mainly because the car just wasnt fun anymore and I missed being able to enjoy it so I sold the 408 for H/C motor and traded the 4l80e setup for a t56 setup.


Thats why im considering ebay headers lol. I dont care about fast anymore just want it to look good and sound good.

Not yet, I want to tune it before going (waiting for HP tuners to arrive).

I did go to the 1/8 mile track though and dropped half a second. Not bad for "ebay" headers...

I'll post my dyno and 1/4 mile results as soon as I get them...

Dropped 0.46 to be exact... car only has ebay headers and a shitty bent 2.5" true dual system. The place were I got my true duals couldn't do mandrel bends, just shitty pressed bends so I'm going to replace all the bends and perhaps pickup a tenth or 2
