You will be much happier with the stock exhaust manifolds than those tacked pieces of cheap scrap

Made offshore with cheap chinese steel and have poor quality all around... I've seen a lot of kids use them on a lot of different cars and never been happy with the damn things. Save up and buy something nice the first time. You won't regret it.

Option racing headers from egay.

Unless you have physically purchased them, they are all just opinions and not facts about the poor quality

Helped a friend with his no issues at all.
And after a year of driving they still look great and sound Great.
This was through an Ohio winter Salt Snow ect.
On a budget you can not go wrong.
He did buy the kit with y pipe and resonators he even passed the visual echeck with them. The resonator is where they cat should be.
I would have no problem buying these for a daily driver.
He put on a magna flow cat back and it sounds great.

I've not used them but I've heard from the users of them that generally the quality is decent. They are stainless, so they won't rust. Some have found that they don't always fit quite perfect (rub the kmember a little or something) but I haven't heard much bad from any actual owners.

I've not used them so I don't know.
