My pacesetter works decent, but it would be cheaper to buy a merge and have one made IMO

Default Headers

I purchased my OBX headers with Y-pipe all stainless steel and have not looked back. They have been on the car about 2 years and no problems at all, I paid about $300 including shipping. If I hit a big bump in the road the passenger side exhaust seems to bang a little. I love the system and you can not beat the price, I would buy these again if I ever need headers. I gained approx. 25hp with these headers not bad at all.

There are two manufacturers of these headers. One is in china and have the EGR/AIR connections and are made of a lower quality stainless. They normaly have the problem of the EGR/AIR tubes falling off and they are not properly jigged during welding which causes fitment issues (Curved up collector), the welds are not the best and are unpolished and can leak and crack but they seem to work for everyone so im not trying to crack on them. And then there is the other manuf. that are True T304 SS and have 316 SS polished flanges they come with th EGR/AIR plug welded and polished to a mirror finish or you can keep them. The weld are awesome looking and polished and stronge, they have lots of options like wide band o2 sensor bungs, ID polishing for better flow and the cool option of 3 inch cutouts in the collectors. You will have no fitment issues do to the headers being turned up. You can also order them with a catted or ORY that is custom fit for the headers and will also fit the ebay headers better than any else out there. I think these Headers and Y pipe are alot better quality than the ebay Headers and are made in AMERICA (LOL) I cant post a link to a non sponsor on this site because I love this site and dont want bad blood but I will become a sponsor soon. Just trying to help all that is wondering about the ebay headers

Well guys here in a word of major advice for you ebay header guys. if you want to get a feel for long tubes and dont know if you want to upgrade to kooks/pacesetter because you might not like them, get these, im estatic about mine and will be getting top of the line pacesetters for xmas since Kooks and a DD isnt too nice. Regardless, you get what you pay for, cheap and youll have to do k-member grinding etc, but overall my ebay headers were a good buy, but if you already know you want to get good reliable headers, go with a better brand by a sponsor on here.

I'm thinking about slapping some on my SS just to get some more power, but i'm not sure yet...I've welded a bunch of those ebay headers for import cars over the past few years where they crack around the weld, but most of those had a turbo hanging on them. We will see. If I get them i'll dyno it for sure

was on the fence about these, then I saw the edelbrock headers on sale for 260 and grabbed them and ran. These polished ebay headers sure do look good. That picture of inside the collector had some nice welds in there. Probably done by a machine. I would be interested in a before and after dyno!

Edit: Looking at pictures of these and the edelbrocks, the design seems 99% the same. If these ebay headers hold up they would be a hell of a deal for anyone on a tight buget.

I bought these ebay headers and put them on and they worked great and sound just like my buddies hooker long tubes I am very pleased with them for just paying $170.
