ebay headers has anyone used the ebay stainless steel headers for lt1s? i have pacesetters right now just figured for such a low price it might be worth the switch. anyone know how they fit up?

I know that the eBay stainless headers were mocked up using the LPP header jigs, so they are in essence LPPs. There is a huge thread somewhere detailing the install and header issues so try a search. IMO, if you're confident in your mechanical abilities they offer a HUGE bang-for-your-buck.

if you have pacesetters why do you want to switch? the pacesetters are virtually the same product if not a little better. Youd be wasting your money unless the pacesetters are rusted/failing

yea pretty confident in installing them i just dont want to have to cut a re-weld some of each header to get it to fit.
and i like my pacesetters just would like to get stainless ones if they are cheap and fit properly then why not?

According to what I've seen they don't. They take some massaging.
Also stainless won't weld to mild. So you have to buy everything else in stainless too. o2 bungs, cutouts, etc. I have full stainless true duals, and I'd rather have coated mild steel personally. They look great and will hopefully last longer, but who knows.
Just something to think about.

man bump what alot of the others say...i installed my stainless ebay headers this weekend that i purchased from ap1ap2.installation was pretty much a breeze. the passenger side header went up no problems.i didnt even have to remove the starter,but i did remove the oil dipstick to route it inbetween the header.
the driver side #1 primary tube had to be massaged twice.one of them was to slightly clear the steering shaft which wasnt much at all..and the second massage was due to the my car being wrecked at some point in its life(evidence of body damage)...it wouldnt flatten out against the head..so 5minutes later it fit like a champ...very much worth the 300 for stainless regardless of the slight body work you have to do to them..

The ones from eworldsales1 were stainless pacesetter clones, they pop up once in awhile, a different seller i think, but are a little more pricey, about $500. Never had them but Ive had Pacesetters and they fit flawlessly
Ive installed the ap1ap2/speed daddy headers which are LPP clones and there were some issues clearing the kmember on both sides, passenger side frame rail, and drivers side steering knuckle. Nothing a hammer and grinder cant fix, and u can loosen the steering column and slide it over a tad to clear the #1 primary without having to hammer the tube or grind the knuckle, def worth 300
Try a search there are several threads on these

I have a tubular kmember so that was not an issue. I have new motor mounts and had to massage the passenger side frame rail and the primary tube next to the steering knuckle. Nothing too major. Pretty much par for any decent sized header.

ebay headers are taking over lol....bump paying $4-600 for headers that dont even include a y-pipe, or let alone end up getting beatup anyway from stuff in the road when driving.........
