They fit good only thing I didn't like is that one of 02 sensors fitting is angled down a little bit not parallel with the ground. So possibility if your car is lowered and you go over a dip it could hit the ground.

Don't be scureddd.

I'm on my second set of Ebay headers(first set on my old SS). All you need to do is grind the k-member a bit. The passenger o2 sensor is angled down, haven't had any problems with it. You will also need a custom y-pipe, some say the Texas speed y-pipe fits.

I bought mine for $140 shipped about two years ago, can't beat stainless long tubes for that price.

There's no brand, they advertised them as LS1 headers.
