Default Ebay SS Long Tubes

In 2009 when I had my last lt1 I took a chance on the Ebay SS LTs and they are AMAZING way better than the pacesetters that it had(painted vesions). I actually picked up time and RWHP from the switch. Well long story short that car is gone and I have another one that Ive been looking for headers the last 2 months and just havent pulled the trigger. It seemed as if noone made SS off brand headers on Ebay anymore and then yesterday i see this http://www.ebay.com/itm/93-97-Camaro-Stainless-Steel-LT1-Long-Tube-Exhaust-Headers-Manifolds-SS-Z28-new-/151110791230?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item232ee7b03e&vxp=mtr
Any opinions on what brand the resemble most or how they may fit?

Those look pretty good. For $349 you get the stainless ypipe with it. I just installed the obx 1 7/8 to 1 3/4 stepped stainless headers on my 95. Biggest issues I had with the obx brand was the 3 1/2" collectors, Passenger primary hit the frame rail, and steering shaft hits on the driver side. Easy fixes to do yourself though. Cost was about the same as the ones above.

I still love my Kooks, ya know what I had to modify for them? Nothing. Not to say that if I had another car as a daily driver that I wouldn't try these.

Crazy cheap for stainless longtubes. Even if it takes some banging and cursing to get them in, its still a hell of a deal.

Quick tip for anyone doing longtubes on an old car - get motor mounts while you are at it to bring the engine back up to stock height. My 93 mounts were so worn by ~135k when I installed Pacesetters that I had to notch ~1/2" from the metal motor mount perch with a sawzall to clear the drivers side header. Fresh mounts will also help with the tight clearance below the brace on the floor pan that most people have to bang up or cut - LS1s don't have it so don't feel bad if you cut it.

Damn those are a steal, they look better quality then my pacesetters! I was expecting thin flanges and lower quality welding.

Welded inside and out, thick flange, and nice clean welds.

I was a bit jealous till I realized you still have to install them, and I remember what a pain in the *** that was on my car lol .

Those look just like the ones I bought off of ebay in 2009. Mine came off when I did my heads a year ago and they still look fine, no cracks or anything.

These look different then my stainless ebay headers that I got about 2 1/2 years ago, mine look like LPP headers sort of. The OPs look like Pacesetters more to me. Definitely worth it for the price IMO.
