Default Ebay Headers for Under 200

I wouldnt be a good consumer if I didnt think I could get a better deal on something. So here goes.

Ebay currently has headers for under 200 plus shipping for "LS1 Headers".

They look identical to the XS/LPP headers.

XS Headers = 450 for just headers

SS autochrome = 299 for just headers

Ebay = 194 for just headers.

I know the XS and SSautochrome are the same. Has anyone purhcased the sub 200 headers and installed them/taken pictures of them. I wanna get the best deal possible, but I also dont mind spending a little more on a proven product.

Thanks,

Tim

Ebay doesn't sell headers, people and businesses sell headers on Ebay.

Does it say what type they are?

Yes but the original poster wants to know about the ones being sold on Ebay for under $200. These are not XS, LPP headers.

Well they are stainless steel. They look to be the same design as the XS headers. The reason I wanna go with these are because the XS headers on the internet that SSauto... sells only come with a Y pipe on ebay and I would LOVE for him to respond to his messages to see if I can buy a set without the X since I am going to be going true dual. If anyone has used them yet, then I would love to here from them.

Thanks,

Tim

click search, type ebay headers, figure out how in the heck to sort them in a way that actually helps you (that's the hard part) and there are some very good threads with very good info on these headers.

Well usually the "ebay" headers are the XS headers. These are just like it, only everyone knows about the XS and blue tarp headers. Nobody knows about these, but they look identical.

Definaetely are not. Look at the notches in the flanges. Welds look different entirely. They are copies. Different grade of steel as well.

So what y pipe will work with the ebay headers in the link? I sent them a message and asked if they offer a y pipe to work with the headers and they said no. Will the slp work? or which one will work with these headers?
