Default Shorty header help!

I am about to buy a set of black shorty headers from some guy on ebay. He claims that they are brand new but he doesnt have the box. So far with shipping I might get them for $130 but...... they are mismatched. One looks like a JC Whitney like he claims they are. They other looks like a Pacesetter with the "ram horm style". They look in decent shape, and Ive seen sets of Pacesetter headers that are mismatch but they are for the 06-08 magnums. Should I go ahead and get them?

Those are good to go. The driver side has a high tube to clear things. You'll want to sand blast and repaint them w/ high temp paint- or ceramic coat 'em.
They look just like my heddmens.

Thanks for the info, I think I might just get them. $130 is bad for some shorty headers.

So it will be alright if they are mismatched right? They look like they should fit.

There not mismatched. They are made that way. Go look up either a set of Heddmen, Summit, JC Whitney, Pacesetters, ect, and you will see the high tube on each of them. As long as each tube is the same length overall (if they were stretched out) it doesn't matter what shape they are in- they could be shaped like pretzels or daisies and still work.
