Default Pro tuning lab Exhaust Headers

Anyone heard of this brand? Came up while searching exhaust options and I cant find any information or reviews on it. Sesms awfully cheap for Vette manifolds. I've got a broken bolt on my factory manifolds and a nasty exhaust leak and this seems more cost effective than replacing them.

I've never heard of that company. The issue you'll have is finding an xpipe to connect too unless I missed that price includes an xpipe.

Just looks like cheap Chinese eBay stuff. Normally with that type of stuff it's a 50/50. Either hold up great or break/fitment issues or etc with in a month or so lol so roll the dice

That's dirt cheap. Pretty lousy looking merge from primary to connector though. And I doubt that you could even get the O2 sensors screwed into the bungs, seeing as how they're on top of the collectors? And, as already mentioned, you would need the matching x-pipe with the ball connectors.
If you're on a budget, my advice would be to find one of the other more reasonably priced headers that you know can work, like the Hinsons or TSPs. My main worry would be if these actually fit properly. Because, even if they're properly welded together, and made out of decent metal, the last thing you want to experience is a poorly fitting set of headers. That will drive you up a wall.

Default On a positve note...

No corvette tax.

They look excellent for the price don't seen will be necessary to remove starter to get ps in and allow plenty of room to remove starter as well and polished? like a bargain to me you can resale later and lose no-thing try that with the ones of your choice.
