How are the E-bay bargin Headers holding up ??
 
I have see several of post that guys have purchased the easy on the wallet stainless steel headers from E-Bay. Would like a report on how they are performing for you ?

How was the install, easy or a royal pain ?
How do the look and perform after a few miles ?
Would you buy them again ?

And lastly which vendor did you buy from ? Or recommend ?

I'm thinking of installing Headers on my 89 Short bed, 5.7L, 700r4 daily driver. It currently has true duals with no Cat, and run though two burnt out glass pack's. It sounds outrageously horrible. Back to what I'm planning on Headers, X-pipe, glass packs or turbo mufflers that have some sort of packing in them. Then run them straight out the back, with a slight turn down.

any input is welcome. Thanks Ken

Hey Ken,

Been running a set on my daily driver for the past year or two now. I wouldn't say there's any performance increase to them other than not having to deal with those damn doughnuts though haha.

Finish wise, they don't look bad other than being dirty now and have been holding up better than I thought they would to the Canadian winters.

Install wasn't bad either, just had to retighten them after driving the truck for a bit. Be prepared to make a tool when it comes time to change sparkplugs though.

I believe the ones I got were Manzo?, I bought them because I kept blowing out those doughnut gaskets every few months, which they solved, I probably wouldn't have gone out of my way for them otherwise though.

Truck is a 93 with a 305 and 4l60 running those headers with the newer style true dual y pipe with 2 cats (if you know what I'm referring to), that goes into a 2 in 2 out muffler and ends with tips under the rear bumper.

Hope this helps you out a bit.

Joe
