Thinking about Purchasing Headers...Need advice!!! UPDATE: READY TO INSTALL
Last year, I scraped up some money, and purchased a GMMG catback and a Moroso CAI. My next step is going to be headers. I'm pretty set on longtubes, but I don't want to fork over a ton of cash.
I found a set on eBay, and I was wondering what everyone's opinions were:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/151459584416?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
They're stainless, which I like, and for an ORY/Header combo, they're pretty cheap.
I would like Kooks, but I can't justify the price right now, and Pacesetter is my other option, but I don't want to spend the cash for the ceramic coated ones.
Any opinions would be appreciated!

I'm mainly worried about fitment. I plan to have them installed at a shop, but I still don't want a header that is going to have fitment issues. I was possibly thinking about buying painted Pacesetters and a stainless ORY.

Buying painted headers and a stainless ory seems pointless. The headers are gonna look like crap as soon as you get some heat in them. I've had painted pacesetters and while they lasted for over 6 years they looked like crap! The y pipe was the only thing that still looked new and it was an aluminum one that came with them.
I have lpp now.

If you think you'll keep the car, I wouldn't consider anything other than stainless. I probably wouldn't consider anything other than stainless regardless. There are a few options that are reasonably affordable.

I'm really tempted to try this combo I found on eBay made by Phab. Again, I'd really like some Kooks, but I can't afford it right now. I plan to keep the car for a while, and progressively build it.
If I either get the cheap set of stainless headers now, or some painted Pacesetters, I'll probably eventually upgrade to something better after college when I want to spend over $1,000 on car parts. So basically I'll probably hang onto the headers for a few years and then sell them for something better.

I think Texas Speed has some stainless Pacesetter clones. I'm not sure if they offer a stainless y-pipe, but in comparison to headers y-pipes would be a lot easier to change when they rust out.

That makes sense to me, but in that case, I may as well just go full stainless. I'm really contemplating these LPP headers now though. They look pretty nice.

I would look here. They will be getting my business next set of headers I buy
400 plus shipping for 1 7/8 long tube headers and Y pipe. Thats a great deal IMO
