I would not take any chances on that when pacesetters are just a little more $$ and are known to fit & perform well. Just my opinion.

+1 on the pacesetters for the $$ get something with a support group, name, and tested results.

Looks like a pretty good price for 'stainless' headers, with 12 month warranty.
As for the "all sales are final", if its a genuine return, they even pay shipping, which is a rare thing on e-bay.
Exchange and Returns: All Sales are final. We check all our items before shipping out. Incase of Manufacturer's defect, please contact us at styledJDM@yahoo.com All items for return must include an invoice by a professional to warrant uninstallable items. Buyer takes full risk and liability if product is not installed by a legitimate shop with a professional mechanic.

It seems like everyone is giving opinions on something they have no experience with. The same old "its on ebay so it must be crap". Do a search, a thread like this one comes up every so often and you will find people that have actually installed these.

Sorry to dig this back up, but I'm curious about these as well. Are these the ones that use to be "XS" brand? If so then from what I've read they are in fact not bad headers at all. I know the XS headers would bolt up to the TSP Y-pipe as well which gives you the option of catted or not. It also looks like these have all the emissions hook ups on them.

Those are not XS headers. They are even cheaper copies of the XS (which were copies) headers. Don't think many on here know the difference or have much experience with these. I've seen those on EBAY with like 5 different names now. I'd stay away.
