All quality, stainless steel headers, proven design, not a ebay carbon copy.
how is a cheap carbon copy of a header a bad idea? wanna explain that? after all it is just metal. and anyone with common sense would know an exact copy of something really good is prolly pretty good itself.

Its a bad idea becuase of the years of trial and error and for many customers complaining on here why something bumps, bangs, rubs and doesnt line up. Often cheap headers use inferior meterials but polish them up so the average person doesnt know the diff. Crappy welds and emission fittings that blow off at the drop of a hat.

Go to the Search,

Type Ebay, there a few post about this.

I just got my ebay headers about 30 minutes ago. There sweet. I used OBO option and got them for 150 shipped haha. Thick flanges, good looking welds, and the cool thing is besdies the angle of the driver collector (getting that straightend out) it will bolt to my new y-pipe. Cant wait to get them installed.

it's a bad idea because those oversea companies are not the ones doing r&d so we have products like this. if you start buying things that are copies you will run places like hooker,pacesetter,Dynatech,kooks out of buisness.

then no more go fast parts.

It says ceramic coated, but you can request stainless if you would like. I've gone thru that sponser before and they shipped it very quickly for free.
Yea. The stainless steel ones are part # 2468-2hkr. Really really good deal considering you get all the hardware and true O2 extenders unlike the LPP stuff. Couldn't be happier to have stainless steel for $500.
