Default These Headers Any Good?

I saw them on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-99...m160243001609&

Are they halfway decent? Or any other of those no name brands on ebay?

Ive seen alot of people post about ebay headers before, and alot of people comment on them and have mixed feelings about them, but I dont know of anyone who is actually running them, id kinda like to know too. Im thinking about buying headers too and I dont wanna spend alot of money so im thinking about just going with some pacesetters or some hookers, they are cheap and at least I know they will fit right.

those are similar to the xs headers,and the problem with those is that the driver side collector is angled up as you can see in the pic

i just put a set of these on wednesday along with a x-pipe I built. Here is my experience with them. Ok, first the add says they come with bolts and they didn't. The headers quility is good but they dont' fit very well. had to grind on the k member some for clearance which isn't a big deal. As mentioned above the drivers side collector almost hits the floor, I built a custom x-pipe so I put a little bend in it to clear the floor. If you do buy them, take them to a fab shop and have the collector welded on straight.

so guys it's a pretty good deal and as long as you dont mind getting the other stuff fabbed then these are a steal for you.

I have the XS headers before they were "redone" and I think they are just fine. I didn't have to grind anything and the collector angle was not even that bad. And don't let the grinding thing bother you, I have read where even the big dollar headers have had to grind the k-member.

BTW sorry to hijack or whatever but I will be selling my XS y-pipe... going to true duals, but this is a great y-pipe and has great ground clearance and flows very nicely. If interested just pm me
