These headers on being sold locally by someone for $150.00 Canadian. Do they look like good quality? He can't tell me the brand. Any guesses?

Thanks

The flanges are think which is a plus, but the welds look a bit shoddy, offer him like $100 for it and it it lasts 6mon, you got your moneys worth!

 

I would be very cautious. The areas I circled on the gaskets look like exhaust leaks from the previous installation. This means that the flanges could be warped at these locations (worst case), or that a new gasket could fix the problem (best case). Either way, I would not reuse the gaskets if you decide to get them. I would offer him something less then $150 though. You can find brand new Summit or Pacesetter headers on ebay for about that price.

Yeah, what silver dodge said, it also could have been just a bad install. That being said, there is a "plaque" on the left header in the picture. From buying mustang parts it leads me to belive they are JBL headers, but they should also say JBL on the "plaque". I would think ANY manufacturer would have put there name on it.
