I've practically messaged ALL the buyers of these headers on Ebay. They're all pretty satisfied with the quality/fitments. Only about 2 (of possibly 14) had to shave a little of the K member for fitment.

Ive compaired these headers side by side to hooker super comp long tubes and they are identical from what I can tell. I think the hooker y-pipe would work with them. Here is a pic of the hookers to for easy compairing for yourselves. The only differance I can see are slighty different collectors but they look the same length.

Yeah!!! Ebay headers!!! ...too bad they dont have the race style up anymore. Just make sure you make a custom y-pipe, because the one that came with the headers(they dont sell it anymore) bangs against the frame and sets off the knock sensor...until i got it tuned out! I love these headers, and they fit great, except one small part on the Y, check my numbers in the sig

Nice! I actually just won the bid on a set:

Under 250, stainless steel. I just hope all the measurements are right.

My ebay headers fit like crap, I just installed them over the weekend. I had to smash the firewall a bit, notch about 1/2" out of drivers side and passenger side k-member. Grind the block where the starter bolts up, grind the starter in 2 places. Also had to cut the drivers side header and reangle the collector downwards. The headers were quality but I must have got a bad set. I also installed poly motor mounts and after I took it for a test drive the motor settled into a new position and rubber the drivers side K member again. I must say its real fun to notch your k-member while your headers are in! Oh ya the passenger's side header, the 02 sensor bung is welded down at an angle so now my 02 sensor is the lowest point of the exhaust. Just amazing, hope I dont break off my 02 sensor before I relocate the bung. My friend and I built a custom y pipe that fit the car, not bad for our first time. Nobody would build a y-pipe since the car no long has cats.

I seen those the other day, they look nice for the price.

But, I am affraid of them fitting like total crap.

I think I still might go with POS painted PaceSetters.

Those are not the same "ebay" headers as the XS headers everyone was buying a couple years ago. These are copies of those. I wouldn't buy em.
