Default headers and side pipes on ebay hooker knockoff

Has anybody heard or bought the header and side pipe combo on ebay. They look like hooker knockoffs. Any info would be appreciated.

Hey, I bought these exact sidepipes from ebay about a 1/2 a year ago. Here's a thread I started on the install of them with pictures. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-t...tallation.html
They came with reverse flow mufflers that were spot welded in. They were a little of the quite side for me, so i swapped them out for hooker max flows. I had to grind the welds off which took some time and then had to knock them out using many methods. If you want to swap out the mufflers just let me know i'll give some tips. They still look like their brand new and the welded spots are treated because there is no rust or anything. They fit well and work fine. I think the sidepipes are stainless, and maybe even the headers are, but im not sure. I would recommended definitely recommend them if you don't mind the showing welds. If, you want some more pictures i'll be happy to take some.
Finished Product
