Default The EBay Headers?

I finally got money to go ahead and order headers and a high flow cat for my truck but I can't find the guy that sells the headers for our trucks on eBay. If someone could post a link, that would be great.

I think it's eworldstrade or something similar but I can't remember.

I would like to get long tubes but the price is way too much.

But I already checked summit and I like the pacesetter shorties for 199 shipped. The only thing I don't like about them is that their only painted.

And I know eBay does, but I don't know if their any good.

I found some on there. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gibson-Part-...181c94&vxp=mtr
I don't know what the reserve is on them but they are $480 new on Summit. These are used but they look good.
I had to buy bolts because mine came with the wrong ones. I also modified a cheap wrench when I took them off to fix a crack and that wrench makes it a lot easier to get at the bolts that are under the back bend in the pipes.
I flattened out the box end and hacked the open end off at an angle then flipped it over and welded it back on.

^neat trick.

that's one of the many reasons i hate headers (see the crack). i think they are way more trouble and expense than they're worth.

My factory y pipe didn't fit quite right when I put the headers on, I had to squeeze the two sides toward each other to bolt it on so there was a bit of stress on the headers for a while before one of them couldn't take it anymore. It fits great now.
For the $130 I paid for the headers I think it's worth it. It probably cost less than a dollar for the electricity, gas and wire along with a little bit of my time to weld the crack shut.
