Default What's the catch?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-CA...65356137QQrdZ1 Saw these on ebay and was wondering what the catch was. $299 for stainless longtubes sounds tempting. Anyone tried them for fitment or quality?

the catch is... no one know's who made these.. and the fitment of them.. quality of a shipped product VS the one in the pics.. and no one to complain to if they dont fit, you'd get the Ebay middle finger.

you can be the test pilot on these if you want to

Thanks Lithium, yeah those are the same headers and they look pretty nice to me, especially for the price. Still haven't got any real info on them yet though.

I used to own a 02 Nissan Altima 3.5 se & there was a company called XS/SS Autochrome that made headers for the 3.5's...For the $$$ the headers fit great and had great gains compared to other major brands however i don't know if it's the same company that makes these.....i'll shoot them an email & find out cause they were excellent quality as far as headers for lil $$$$
