Has anyone used the long tube headers and x-pipe setup from the ebay user powerboost.It is stainless no name for $449 for the kit.Looks good in the pictures.Worried about fit and performance,but the price is cheap.Let me know what you think.

No, haven't seen these until you posted.

I would shy away from them since headers are a PIA to install, and if they don't work, or fail (leak) you will spend more to either:

-fix them and

-purchasing a set from a 'real' header company.

Just my $0.02

Do a search in the Tech Section for Ebay Header Install. There's a long thread with pix and comments.

sure, but expect some fitments issues and custom fabrication to make them work.
