What do you think. I'm impressed that they are made out of SS and so cheap.

Thoughts?

Seems like the same thread I had seen over on s197forums.com with the boost brothers headers. The welds look nice from the pictures and if this is anything like that thread I mentioned, all the first buyer we knew of had to do was heat the header at one or two spots to bend it a little for clearance and that was all.

I made a $350 offer. It was declined.

They may actually fit, but I would be more concerned with long term cracking problems and whatnot.

It's cheap Chinese 304 SS, I had it in my stangs turbo kit (been on there over a year and still on there strong) and one guy with a 3v stang that has had the boost brothers ones on there for ~2.5 years. All I am saying is let someone try it out, it may be a cost effective alternative to those who don't have $1500+ to spend on some pipes

Cheap chinese knock offs, if they are the ones depicted in the illustration, they won't work. Look closely, the connection pipes neck down to 2.5" so they appear to be made for a standard C6. I would rather pay the full price and get something I know will fit and be AMERICAN MADE.

Any company offering Z06 LT's for 2005, and newer tell me they have no idea what they are doing... And eBay is already shady to begin with...

It says they're 1.6" runners too. Pretty small compared to the 1.75" and 1.875" ones everyone else sells.

The measurement is 1.6 in id. Most people measure the headers by OD. I bet the id of 1.75 OD headers is around 1.6
