Price for Hooker Headers

I found a set of Hooker ceramic coated headers for my vintage corvette. They're going for $135. Am I just ignorant of normal costs or is this a good price?

Are they new or used?
If they are new, thats rediculously, unbelievably cheap.

They're used, silver in color, but in the photo they look to be in great condition. Heck, from the photo they could be new.

If you can tell from the photos that there is no rust, and there don't appear to be any cracks, then IMO that's a pretty darn good price.

Here's the photo with the ad:

What can I expect to gain from putting these on my car vs. stock?

Unless that photo is mirrored, those don't look like the correct Hooker headers for a 63-82 Corvette. My driver side header that I pulled of the car this week looks like the one on the right side of the photo. The passenger is similar to the one on the left of the photo, all the tubes gather in the middle and run straight down.

As far as brackets, you can buy the ac brackets from summit by choosing your car and narrowing it down to hooker headers.
