Default Name These Headers

Hey guys, I recently bought a set of stainless long tube headers but I am not 100% sure which brand they are so I figured I'd post some pictures and see if you guys could help me out.

Heres a few pictures of the headers:

Thats my fear, although I thought all the ebay kock-offs had emissions? I think they are either Hookers or XS Headers. If there XS headers, I'm reselling them.

The one thing I noticed about the Ebay stainless headers is the one primary that looks cut and expanded for the curve mid way to the collector. Based on the photographs I would have to agree with Hard Core Z28 and list them as the Ebay stainless headers.

Not sure why you feel ripped, from everything I have heard they are good/decent headers. Looking at the fact that they seem well used, I am sure they will be fine.

Does it look like they had emissions fittings cut off and plugged? If not, they're not eBay headers. All the eBay headers have emissions fittings. They may be LSXtreme stainless headers, and from what I've heard, they're good quality headers for how cheap they are. Even if they are cheap eBay headers, they do the job just fine. I don't have any complaints about mine.

Haha you guys are making me feel better about my purchase then I am at this point. But I just got done reading about the LSXtreme headers and am kinda inspired, they do not have any emissions nor look like any were plugged/welded over, so I'll probably give em a shot.
