Why are these headers so cheap?

They may very well be a good deal, but you're not going to get away with using those unless you have some custom piping and work done to attach everything cleanly. And, thought it might seem obvious, if you have any fitment issues, you're out the money straight up since no one is going to stand behind those.

There are only $200 or so in materials to make headers. Everyone making LS7 headers adds on the $1000 corvette tax so far. Hopefully soon some competition will come into the market and make good headers for $500 like every other engine has available.
