Default Anyone tried these headers?

I'm considering headers although at first I didn't want to mess with that but I came across these : http://oversteeringonline.com/C5_Headers_X-pipe.html . Anyone have experience with these good/bad and does it seem like a good deal price wise? Thanks.

Here is a very large thread about them:

They use a quality stainless steel and from the reviews they seem to fit well also. I will be going with them once I go for the headers.

I have these headers and catback system on my 02 Z06 and are very happy with the product second to none in fit and finish.

Yes I added a vara-ram and tune along with headers and catback.

Another here for these headers. I received one of the first sets of the offroad versions back in late May or early June. Fit and finish is awesome. Sounds amazing with B&B Bullets. They still look great today even after many miles. Just make sure you wipe them down with rubbing alcohol before the first start up. Can't see the need to spend near double what these cost for a brand name set of headers.
