Default Odd "headers" on ebay.

So sifting through the craphouse that is ebay and I think I found a gem http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1993-...item27b433b6b6

Those welds inside of the collectors look awesome
Oh and please note that trubo kits may require modifications to your 5.0 before installing.

I mean, they wouldn't be terrible if the one glamour shot they take of them didn't have such a crappy bead right at the flange. Come on man get a better set to take pictures with, or a better welder.

I dont think they look that bad if they fit even if they did need some cleaning up. Where else can you buy them without having a custom set built?

I was thinking the same thing. I thought about using half a set (driver side only) to build up a cheap hot-parts build.

What struck me is that he gives no instructions whatsoever. Do you have to move accessories? What kind of "modifications are we talking about b/c not too many people are gonna jump right into a turbo build if they don't even know if their hot side is going to clear the rest of the engine.

If you dont know what your doing you prob shouldnt be looking at them in the first place. I takes a lot of mods and research to build a turbo kit.

They fit the motor. Other than that your questions are filed under "your problem."

Anybody notice both headers are the same in the pics? Looks like there's no right/left version possibly.

whats funny is where it says the vehicles that are capable of using these, it clearly says that 98 is?! what the F**K?! lol these are the same side with different flanges too! on top of that there is no angle to them so they will most likely have rubbing issues with something. if you were to bolt these up they would come straight out, not down or at an angle, straight out! wow they look horrible

That's fine and all, but if they hit the strut tower there are larger problems. I just think that it was stupid to advertise these without any thought as to how the setup would go together.
