Default Can anyone ID these Headers/Will They Fit?

Hello,

There is someone somewhat local selling brand new headers (pictures below) at a really good price. I have a 1999 Auto C5 and wanted to know if anyone could identify from the pictures1. The Brand. 2. If they would fit Bolt On my C5.

It would be about a 6 hour drive (there and back) and just wanted save myself the trip and money if someone could identify from the pictures, they would not fit.

Any help would be appreciated. Just got my first C5 a few weeks ago so I am new to the corvette world. Thanks!

Most likely Ebay cheap brand judging by the design. Not worth the drive or ANY price they are asking IMO given there are much better options out there (no I'm not talking Kooks/ARH either).

Hinson or TPS Headers are what I would suggest as the "cheapest" header to use. Great fitment at a good price.

Before someone with Texas Speed (TSP) or ebay headers comes to rip my head off...I understand YOUR headers may have fit and no issues but I didn't want to risk headers "maybe" fitting which was the case when I looked for headers. Win some lose some.

My advice; do not skimp!

Try checking out LG Super Pro's - they are the one's to have, the best.

Something tells me that OP will not want to spring for LG's if he was considering the above...I don't know the price of them but I'd bet they are selling for under $500 which seems appealing and therefore he posted about them.

I'm curious how you quantify LG's being "the best".

It only helps to share

LG is one of the best because of their R&D that went into their SS LG/Borla Super Pro Long Tube Headers. Race Driven. Scientifically optimized primaries, flanges, and collectors. Good for mega horses...need I say more!
