Anyone running those Ebay Headers? - 4th F-Body

If so how long? Still holding up far as welds, etc.? Any problems? Any dyno comparison testing with these anywhere?

Just the word "Ebay Headers" scare me! Whats the price? Pacesetters are proven and they're very affordable.

believe it or not the "XS" stainless steel headers that I bought about 3-4 yrs. ago were decent and JUST put on the market and only could be bought on fleebay. the welds were thick and even and made it through at least +2k miles before the car was totalled. now a days I don't know the current quality, just starting to get back into the flow of things

Like 99Hugger said.... If the price is not that much diffrence go with the proven Pacesetter headers and they are easy to install... Fit is good with them.

actually, 99Hugger is simply mistaken. I've heard a lot of people say those ebay headers are pretty good. You have to think, they're a stainless header. I paid about $1200 for my Kooks stainless headers. They're not cheap stuff. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised if you get a set.

Maybe.... But i will stay with the proven!

How so? Stainless pacesetters are not tried and true and very affordable? I'd be willing to pay a little extra cash for something thats a sure thing. If they even cost less then Pacesetters...

pacesetters are not stainless... they simply come optioned with a coating on the mild steel

And this guy is correct.... pacesetters are not stainless.

But for the most part you are gonna get the same gains with all LT's not much of a diffrence as far as HP goes IMHO... Its more a fit and finish thing. Ive never tried the Ebay ones so cant really comment but i know alot of people as well as my self with the pacesetter ones and fit and finish have always been good

the ebay headers are tried and proven. i would research the threads on tech and on my site, but it's a lot of digging and i don't feel like doing it. i'm not trying to twist anybody's arm to buy the ebay headers, so don't get me wrong, but i'm just saying don't knock them until you've tried them. I will agree that Pacesetters are tried and proven, and they're good bang for the buck, but the ebay headers are just as good, but also cheaper and they're stainless. Definitely a better deal...

Now that I'm pretty sure is junk

you can't lump everything on ebay together as all being junk though. Some of it's good, some of it's not. I've got quite a few things off of ebay for my car, and I'm pleased with all of them. You just have to buy wisely, that's all

here's one thread where a buddy of mine put them on his car:

another thread where another friend of mine had them and was talking about them before he installed them

here's a thread on tech about them:
