1. Pacesetters are a good header.
2. Ebay header is a "You get what you pay for" deal.

That is the difference.

What do you mean you get what you pay for? I have not seen any one with any problems. Also, these headers are sold by two people, Powerbooster29 and SSAutochrome. SSAuthchrome has them starting at 329 but if you go to the site he has them selling for $550. It is still a little under qtps and kooks but still is not exactly a cheap header. I think they are doing the ebay deal to get their reputation up and then later jack up the price.

Why not get them from a sponsor that will give you some support on them. Ebay is "Oh....I guess I can ship them. They sent me money or won the bid. Thanks for shopping" and that is the end of the line.

That is what "you get what you pay for means".

I guess I answered the question too fast.

I meant Pacesetters are a good header. No one knows what the "e-bay" header is exactly or where they copied it from. Just because you see a picture of something online doesnt mean that it is the *exact* product that you are going to receive in return for money. I know that you need to put a lil' faith in some folks online because they are very honest. It is the other 85% of people that scam and spam the internet with lies and theft who are trying to "sell" stuff. I am not trying to say that everyone who sells stuff is out to get you with crappy quality or anything.

Just be careful.

Wow, I just realized that my answer didnt have anything to do with the thread. He is talking about pacesetters on ebay vs. from a sponsor and I am talking about the stainless steel headers (ebay headers). My bad

Looks like one set is coated and the other isnt. I never trust pictures on ebay that are from big companies.
