Are these so called ebay headers any good..There are set on there for 175 brand new stainless steel seems to good to be true..Has anyone bought any? Are they junk? Whats the deal?

 

Lots of people have had great reviews on them. I picked up a set a couple weeks back. Quality looks damn good, and the price is definately right. I can't wait to get them on and see how they perform.

 

what y-pipe is everyone running? havent really seen and i guess i cant use the search function right cause i can never find what im looking for(google works better)

 

There was one Y-pipe that I think people were saying would hook right up to it. I'm pretty sure it was Hooker, but not positive. Then, I saw where one or two people bought a stainless eBay Y-pipe that mated right up also. I'm going to have my exhaust shop custom fab an H-pipe and run TD's though.

 

I have heard good things about them. Im hoping to find a set for my GTO

 

Sorry for a off topic Question.... What wheels are those on your car?
Very nice.

As for the ebay headers,... You get what you pay for.. Been down that road with the grand nationals, and they are chinese junk. Just my opinion

I put a polished stainless set on a trans am last year and they went in relatively easily. You will have to grind on the k-member a good bit for one of the primaries to clear, espeically if it is higher milage due to sagging motor mounts.

 

OEWheels C5 deep dish machined face/black vents wheels. 18x10.5" on all 4 corners.

 

just installed my stainless ebay headers, car sounds better , looks better under hood, they fit great,i have not drove it yet and dont plan to until i get my tune

 

I have a set also. Great for the price and more than likely you'll have to grind the kmember. I did. There was a thread somewhere about people having to grind with qtp headers and they are like 800 bucks. No cars the same so dont let the grinding scare you. As far as the you get what you pay for..... well like you said they are only 175 bucks. If they work than Great! If not your not out much. Thats how I decided to buy them.

 

I've heard nothing but good things about them.

 

Me and another memeber on here just installed some on my car. It took 3.5 hours (he is fast at it) and we did not have to grind or fab anything. My car has 113000 miles on it and has stock motor mounts. It depends more on the car then the headers. Mine sounds good and I can feel the power increase. I used a flowmaster merge and had a shop run pipes for my Ypipe and it worked great. If it ever stops raining here I will put up some pictures.

 

you dont need a tune to drive a car with lts. i drove my car for a good 6 months untuned with a lid, lts, tds, and an ls6 intake.

go drive you car.

 

+1 on quality. Whoever is fabbing these up is either breaking even or losing money.

This is the set i bought hoping to cut up for my conversion.




No spear. But who cares at $185 shipped

 

Opinion subject to change after looking at those photos.

They don't seem any different than a set of Hooker or Pacesetters on the dyno...

 

I believe these are made by a company called phab, all the welding/bending is done with robotics.

 

I am most likely going to pick up a pair of these headers, but which one? There are several different "stores" on eBay that are selling variants of these headers. Which one is a good one to go with? I've heard some have the oxygen sensor bungs on the wrong sides and would like to avoid this issue.

 

Ive installed a set of these on another persons WS6. They were easy as my pacesetters to install, and over a year later they still look damn good and are problem free.

 

Mine slipped in with no modification to car. I cut the flange in the middle to make it easier though.... the driver side wouldn't bolt up easily and I just hit em with a cutting wheel and after that they slipped in super easy.
