Just imagine the hours wasted after you install them and they don't fit right and leak...
Stick with a name brand and rest assure that you're getting a good part!
I personally would touch them unless I saw half a dozen people successfully install them and dyno them.

just buy looking at them they should give power and sound. my only concern is lack of data we have. they could be bad, could be great. but i dont think they are full length headers from that picture. but even if its a catless shorty, its still hell of a deal. seeing how arh sells this for 1500.

The majority of the so called name brand headers are made in ..........yup you guessed it.... CHINA! TSp headers are made in china. NOT saying thats bad, but they all said the same about OBX headers and they are pretty good except the hardware sucked azz.

Just don't understand why you would want to buy any cheap headers for your Corvette. Sure TSP are made in China but you can get customer service with these guys if you need it. ARH, Kook, Stainless Works, ect. are all known brands that I would stay with if I were you. Cheap equipment on such a fine car doesn't make any sense to me..

They were decent and well worth the money and picked up horsepower similar to others in the market. I had ARH on my C6, but helped install a couple sets of OBX and the guys never had an issue. I have TSP on my C7 and have been happy with them.

From my research the metal is very cheap on the chinese knock offs and it's not uncommon at all for welds to crack or flanges to break off after a few months to a year.
That was on of the main reasons I went with a name brand.

While the price is appealing to many, take it from someone who has installed (without a lift) eight (or maybe nine) sets of headers on his C7 (or, better yet, ask any reputable shop here)...
Go with what works, is made with quality in mind, and fits the first time (not four or five sets later, and even then not quite right).
I won't get into the China vs. USA debate, but OBX, Pacesetter, etc. are all very cheap brands that have (over the years) all had issues with fitment, reliability, craftsmanship... On and on. There are quality options that work correctly starting at under $1000.

He means clamps, gaskets, etc. to perform the install. Most people with the C6 would toss what was sent with the kit and source the necessary parts to install themselves to make it easier for a better fit.
