Default FleaBay Headers

I was looking for a set of SS headers and came across these, anyone know anything about these? I emailed the seller asking questions about them but have not heard back from him.

great price but what about quality??? If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is! Is that the correct rating for SS?

I considered some like that because the price is so low, but I read reports in this forum of people discovering that they sit too low under the engine and reduce ground clearance.

I'm in the UK so I wasn't prepared to take a risk with the high shipping cost to try and fight for a return if they didn't work. Your mileage may vary.

If you search the forums for 'ebay headers' you'd find this thread:

It's not conclusive but it sowed the seed of doubt for me.

I had originally bought a set of Hedmans from Summit, and come time to fit them, they wouldn't go! Sent them back for a full refund, no questions asked!
Bought the ceramic coated Hookers, and glad I did!
Buy from a reputable seller. With Jeg's or Summit, returns are easy and fast, no questions asked. The Hedman's I had bought were suppose to be for 68-82 small blocks....well enough said.

The one's n the picture look like a SS version of Flowtech Headers. Cheapies. The painted one's can be had for $90 brand new through any parts store chain. No two sets are the same and fitment is hit or miss.

Spend your money once and buy good ones. I like the Hooker's myself. (I mean the exhaust headers) I had a noticable performance gain from flowtechs to the hookers and fit and finish was MUCH better.
