Do these headers look to be in good condition?

The Hookers on my car right now either have a crack in them, or have rusted through, so it's time for new ones. I found a guy locally who is selling a set of BBK's. He sent some pictures, and I was wondering if any one you see anything shady or questionable about them? He said they were only on for 2 months.

They come in ceramic or chrome coating, no stainless. These are going to rust eventually, too, you know.

Does he also have the y pipe? The BBK's use ball flanges, so if you want to run a non-bbk y pipe you'll have to knock off the flanges

The look ok to me.

Too bad to put them on, knocks down some of the resale. Kinda like a unfired gun....

Why keep paying for headers like this? Just buy some stainless headers and be done with it..
