Sidepipes on fleabay?

Has anyone had any experience or heard anything about these sidepipes. The price seems too good. There are quite a few for sale.
Hope I don't get slammed for the link..

That's not too high. Curt and I shipped his old headers and pipes to a guy who bought them and it was over $90 for just the shipping. Luckily we used the boxing and packaging that his new ones came in or it would have been over $100 after materials.

Shipping for a business is a lot less then a private person...
for Example, my buddy owes a shop, I have shipped big items that would have cost over $100 to ship.. through my buddy it runs about $23

Ad says stainless.
Looks like a coating to me.
The headers are seamed together.
He calls them 5 inch collector, but they are 4 inch.
The side tubes look like chrome Hooker, but the headers look like they jigged it up in their home garage.
Price is fair, but I'd be leary about the fit and quality of the headers.
Who made them? Brand?

SB headers is not self service obviously but your normal abbrevation for small block. The rest is correct, NOT recommended!
JKust look at the quality of the headers, those are ugly looking collectors and primaries with grounded welds on the pipes... you get what you pay for indeed,

I found the hooker headers in chrome, and the hooker tubes in chrome on ebay new in box. $650 shipped to my door. Plenty in stock. I see this set up for $475 + $110 shipping. I don't know who makes them. If I did'nt have angle plug heads I would go with the hookers. I tried contacting this seller, no answer. company.
company.Do a search on the subject, if the search feature is working there should be quite a few threads on the subject.
