http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

would the summit headers be better then theses?


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...3AIT&viewitem=

the thing is my brother is telling me not to go with the ebay headers. he says that since they are new they havent been tested and they might not line up right or i dont know what kind of problems im going to run in to with them. tghese are the one i got on ebayhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350162462525&sspagenam e=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&viewitem=

There was another guy in this section that bought those Ebay headers. They look nice, I know nothing about them. They are supposedly very similar to Pacesetter headers (I wouldn't be surprised if they were copies). Can't really tell you what to do man. Fitment might be an issue, it might not, you'll be taking a chance. The PS headers on summit are a sure thing, they fit nicely, good ground clearance, the ceramic coating will last for a while. But they are budget headers and they will tarnish eventually. But no where near fast enough to cause concern.

The Ebay ones look nice but since they are so close in price I would prob just go with the Pacesetters through Summit. That way if for any reason you didn't like them or needed to return them Summit would take them back no questions asked with no penalty/re-stock fee.

thanks bud, that help's. wasnt sure how long ceramic would last. the thing is that summit's headers dont come with y pipe thats 130. these headers on ebay are ss and come with y pipe ss also. i have a shop i work at so if i have to left the motor thats fine.

Yes, you will also need a Y-pipe and a cat-back. Try out these links:

Coated headers + Y

Painted headers + Y

You can start a new thread with a poll attached. It will tell you percentages and who voted for what and everything.

Oh, my vote is for 1.

Personally, I would have done everything possible to go the stainless route.
