Just get pacesetters if thats the market your in. I have not had experience with either Ebay or PS, but I think its safe to say PS>Ebay. PS should offer "better" install ease and fitment as well. I dont think PS are much more than 300, with the Y. JMO.
dude, pacesetter longtubes, are great deal for the price, and get the same performance as most of the other guys, paint on them peels after awhile though, im gonna use header wrap on em soon...
That ^^^ and the ebay headers are only 1 5/8" primarys. Then if you get the stepped ones they are 1 5/8" to 1 3/4". IMO just save the coin and get some LPPs (if you can still get them) they are stepped 1 3/4" to 1 7/8". Or the Kooks if you've reached baller status LOL
At least thats the research that I have come up with.

the ones i got from ap1ap2 were not 1 5/8" primarys. They were in fact a tiny bit over 1.750" stepped to 1.875" Theyve been on the car for months. Driving through all kinds of rain and dirt. Nothing on the headers but the color of hot stainless. They require some finessing, yes. but theyll last forever..
im going to be wrapping them soon. GL wrapping mild steel headers. Theyll rust up real bad.

Do not buy ebay headers, they are POS's. I have some on my car and cyl. 2 primary rubs the spark plug wire loose, and I have tried just about everything I even use stock plug wires because I burned through all my MSD wires and have header wrap and boot covers.
The only headers I would have recommended from ebay were the ones from eworldsales1, but they are out of production at the moment. With headers you get what you pay for. I bought Gen 2 LPPs for $450. With like new stock motor mounts I have no rubbing anywhere, didnt hammer anything and spark plug wires clear easily. Spend a little money and get a name brand.
Don't wrap ANY header if it sees any amount of street time. Header wrap is terrific for retaining moisture, and despite the stainless headers being stainless, they will eventually start to corrode and rust. Not to mention header wrap is also a fire hazard as it loves to soak up oil too.
Just pull the trigger and get them you'll be very happy after the fitting is done.
