Quite a few people have complained about fitment and quality issues.

Don’t do it...
ARH
KOOKS
TSP
I would only consider the 3 above, in that order. You get what you pay for and Chinese header flanges warp and leak...

You will regret eBay headers. And I agree with the above. ARH first choice. Kooks second. Third, TSP if you want a quality budget header. And I'm going to ask a rhetorical question. WHY would you spend your hard earned money on a Z06 and then try to put some cheap crap header on it?

I was inquiring , price does not always dictate quality so I was looking for some input based on others experience.

The TSP are made overseas so I would think the quality between them and ebays set is similar? Didn’t find too many good review on TSP 2” and fitment.

Likely will I’ll save up for ARH orKooks

TSPs do take a little more effort to get them to fit properly but to the budget minded they will work. Personally I chose ARH and could not be happier. They fit amazing and the quality is top notch. I've done the TSP headers before and while they performed great, it took some work to get them to fit right. But the quality was good and I had no issues. the Ebay headers not only have terrible quality control they also use real cheap metals and have a very high failure rate. Welds can crack, flanges warp, and so on.

If your looking at cheap headers I would possibly look into these guys https://www.speed-engineering.com/sh...4-engines.html

Im not sure if anyone has tried it but they seem to have a good rep with a lot of other cars.
