i followed the feedback for the seller, and then did a search on dodge to read the reviews of other buyers. it says there are 6 available with 94 sold. other buyers seem happy and nobody complained about them.

so - yea, go for it. looks like about $150 with shipping for 14 gauge stainless.

member here compared them to pacesetter shorties, and seemed to prefer the ebay headers over pacesetters...

This is the way I'll probably go when getting headers. I read Auggiedoggy's thread and did some more research and it seems these are a good header for alot cheaper than your regular pacesetter ones.

You will probably have to buy some bolts after getting them, the bolts that came with mine had the wrong threads on them.

Mine had a tight fit to the y-pipe (I bolted one side on then had to push the other side toward the one that was bolted on already to get it on the flange) and over time it made one of them crack. That wasn't an issue after a little quality time with my welder. The up side to the crack happening is that now they fit like a glove.

Those gaskets that come with them have never leaked on me. Some people say that they will but I don't believe them.

The back bolts are a pain to tighten because of that bend in the pipes. You should pick up a cheap wrench and modify it to make it a whole lot easier on yourself.
You can see that I bent the box end flat and cut the open end off at an angle, turned it around and welded it back on.

I've heard that welding chrome vanadium puts off toxic fumes so if you're going to do this then you need proper ventilation or just do like I did and take a deep breath, weld then take a few steps back to avoid the fumes.
