You could get the same thing at the same price from Texas Speed and Performance.

http://www.texas-speed.com/item_deta...?ProductID=634 ($285.99)

I would just go that route. I would also recommend the ceramic coating. They will still rust, but at a slower rate and should continue to shine under the hood for quite awhile.


Edit: I took too long to read all the fine print and then go to TSP's website and got beat. I am not sure why there is a picture of a Y-pipe on ebay along with the headers, the price is definately for the headers only.

Questionable. Better than with the resonator, but I'd opt for a Borla XR-1 muffler. They are kind of expensive at about $100/ea though.
