Hi all, I found on ebay these inox headers:

Someone have already bought them? Are good items?

Thanks!

Made in China by people (slave laborers in my opinion) who will never see let alone own a Corvette. I would not purchase them for my Vette projects

189$ for shipping to Italy unfortunately is normal for heavy and big packages...



I have to consider:

138.99$+
189.99=
328.98$

that became 261€ more or less

i have to add the duties (about 30% on the total) = 340€

Didn't realize you were located in Italy. Still, a few bucks saved now could cost you more down the road

Me neither. Welcome!
Where in Italy? If it's close to some of my Navy friends, we may be able to beat this "duty" thing.
