Debating on longtubes

[Smoke Em All]

I know that There has always been a debate about eBay headers and their flaws vs their price. I'm not looking to build a 10 second Tahoe but I'd like a little more power with a better sound. I'm not trying to break the bank either. I had a set of eBay headers on my 94 Camaro. Other than some fit issues around the steering knuckle they performed well and sound great.

What are everyone's thoughts. Also if anyone has any links to good header options post them up.

At least a few guys here are running them and from what i remember they really liked them.

That`s very cheap for headers plus a catted Y pipe. I looked at the sellers negative feedback but they hide the actual item that was sold but there were more than a few complaints about fitment issues but who knows what part they were talking about. The fact that they dont list the part makes me think they`re hiding something. They may be good and they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee but i know i wouldn`t want to have my truck laid up while i return headers that didn`t fit.

That's a pretty good price. Would you get their gaskets or are there much better elsewhere? Would be nice if these came with the y pipe like the eBay set.

I would definitely get different gaskets

What do you think about the eBay set, being that it includes the y pipe. If the fit is ok that would save a bundle right there.

That's really all I want. Save money on a bundle. Like I said I'm not building a full race truck. My biggest issue is that the fitiment is so bad that something just doesn't hook up.

They sell a header/ y pipe combo but it`s an off road pipe, No cats. If there are no emissions tests where you live you can have the cats tuned out. When and if i get headers i would most likely have my exhaust shop make up a Y pipe with cats for me to stay legal.
