Default Anyone use these headers?

Found these while on ebay. They look ok, but the price has me a little cautious. Anyone use them? Have any pros or cons? http://www.ebay.com/itm/67-69-Camaro...4d13aa&vxp=mtr

They look like a chinese knockoff of hookers. you get what you pay for, esp with exhaust. Hopefully you don't have to spend money twice.

I bought them and they emailed me saying they only had them in black. I ended up getting my money back. Go with stainless works they fit great

I would want to see a good internal picture of the collection area and one of the flange mounting surface.....preferably of the actual set I was going to receive. Gauge and diameter of tubing? Welds on the o2 bungs look questionable.

I was more wondering about the fit. For that price I wouldnt feel bad if I had to "adjust" them. lol.

Yeah, I had the same feeling. I used those eBay headers on my LQ9/T56 swap into my '67 Camaro a few months ago. I'm using Dirty Dingo Sliders and an adjustable T56 crossmember from BMR. I figured I'd have enough adjustability to hit a sweet spot for clearance, but that wasn't the case.

I have a slight exhaust leak on the passenger side where it bolts to the heads (I think the flange is warped). And they had to be dimpled with a big socket and an even bigger hammer on the driver's side.

Thanks for the pics. I think I will go with something that fits a little better.

Another option for you is Ultimate Headers!
If anyone will be attending SEMA, stop by our booth, #32297!
Our headers were design for your application, 1st and 2nd generation Camaro's. Fit and finish is top notch!
www.ultimateheaders.com

Mark Stielow has a set that he is using on his current Camaro build project as well!

Thank you
Jim Browning
