Anyone have knowledge of KO Speed long tube headers for C6 cars?
These are being sold on eBay for under $400 with Free Shipping and include the x-pipe. Components are made of stainless.....
Any comments are welcomed........

KO stands for Knock Off right? That would be awesome if I could get a set of real stainless steel long tubes for $400. I'm in the process of saving for some.

Always remember you get what you pay for. I realize there are high end products and then there are middle of the road, but when you start getting into the bargain basement stuff, most likely you will regret it.
They maybe fitment issues and will they give you the performance gain that a good set of headers will. If all you are looking for is to change the sound of the exhaust then that may be different, but I think I would really research them first.

I personally wouldn't pay that price knowing that a good set of headers for a c6 cost a lot more than that and did you say with the pipes to like they say you get what you pay for

Default My Research!

They look "Exactly" like the ones I bought awhile back under a different name. In the end they worked out OK after a "lot" of PITA skilled labor for me. I would not recommend these except for sale in the "Country of China".

Bottom Line: I would not recommend buying these headers.

If interested see my thread below.

PS: ARH or Kooks would most likely be my pick "next" time.
