Default Ok Which of these 2 headers should I choose?

Edelbrock: Steel Ti Coated - Longtubes - $350

Ebay cheap ones - Stainless - Longtubes - $170

Both are longtubes, both have the AIR and EGR fittings.



Nevermind other mods and the vehicle it's going in. Are the eBay stainless a worthy header for half the cost of the Edelbrock?

Ebay's headers aren't perfect but they are stainless and well worth the money IMO.

Pretty easy. Passenger side header slid right in. Drivers side took about 2 min of grinding on the k-member, then it slid right in. My TSP ORY had to be modified slightly to account for the drivers side collector angling upward. This small issues were well worth the money to me!
