Cheap Headers

I love the price, and it says they're stainless! Does anyone if these are junk? How's fitment?

Ebay headers are a hit or miss with fitment. Some will fit like a dream, others will not.

So would it be worth the risk? surely they can't be that jacked up to where they couldn't be fitted ..

If you want to, go for it. I'm just warning you now, you will deal with a ton of headaches, but eventually, they will fit. Or, it'll be the magic pair and they'll slip right in!

No problem. I'm going with TSP stainless 1 7/8" headers and their stainless ory pipe. It's, to me, the best header and y pipe for the money.

Good choice. Yes, they are pricey, but you get what you pay for.

And throw some cutouts on your setup, like I'm doing...

Did you have to move motor mounts any? These i got with off road true duals w/single tips was 600 for headers. These work great for clearance and the exhaust.

Should've put poly motor mounts in while you were in there. You're going to regret it....

I bought OBX headers for both of camaros, both had no fitment issues. Only slight problem is a slight rattle sometimes, and had move a heat shield, but they are good. Also have "fake cats" included in the Y pipe. I'd reccomend those

x2 I bought OBX headers and have had no problems and the fit was great. Make sure you do motor mounts if not they may hit k-member under hard lanuches

I agree with you but we'll have to see if TSP gets their headers in on time. Still a very good value regardless. If they could figure out a way to stock them year round, I have no doubt they'd take a good chunk of Kooks/ARH business.

As far as the ebay headers are concerned, you get what you pay for.
