: Anyone see or buy headers for ebay for $300?
zipper 11-29-2007, 06:05 AM Is this a joke or are these things just junk? I found a set of 1 3/4" headers with a 2 year warranty on ebay for $300?? It claims they are brand new long tube headers. 3" collector 1 3/4" primary, good for 20HP, built from 321 stainless?
What you all think on this one?

I would be very careful with this one! Although the price is tempting there is a saying you should listen to and it is "The sour taste of a cheap product lingers long after the taste of a sweet price"
At that price I would take a guess that the quality is not what you want to be putting on your Vette!!

I would also advise against these headers. I've read everything from big time fitment problems, O2 sensor mislocation, leaks, x-pipe not lining up, the list goes on...
You can find a nice set of used brand name headers for about $400, so I would just go for those instead.
tstar 11-29-2007, 02:01 PM I have a product evaluation on those in here somewhere. Anyway those are the first design with AIR tubes for 01s and up. I helped design the third generation of these (not out yet). The material and workmanship is top notch, SUS 321 stainless steel instead of the usual 308...
Read the eval there are a few minor fittment issues, see if you can handle that and if you're interested I can get you a set of the Headers and X Pipe for $400....

I was wondering about these, it just seemed to good of a deal. I'm not going to make a quick decision with out researching. I have been looking on ebay for used headers and thats how I found these. Tstar do you have that product review? Would like to see what you put down on these. Any install photos? Thanks

I picked up a set of Kooks LT headers for $700 and they only had 1000 miles on them at the time. This was also with the high flow cats and the X-pipe. I felt that this was a good price and I think that most would agree with me!!:iagree:
bradleyback 12-01-2007, 12:41 PM Kooks, American racing or LG is good stuff. On the other hand Tstar has used these for a bit, so perhaps could be a good deal?

Sorry I'll pass on this one.
