JUST DO IT!!
But i would really consider getting them ceramic coated and before you install check the flange for square and follow proper tq sequence.
Im interested to see how it goes for you. when you recieve them please take a bunch of pics. Also Dyno??? They look to be equal legth (ish)

Yes i was one of those Guys!! and They are great the fit is spot on the welds are good and the walls are not thin the only thing is that they are not coated or anything mine look just like pypes and jba. and they add more go and noise
i get complemented all the time about the sound, yes i do have a pypes dual exhaust too but they just add to it and they have turned such a pretty blue color now!the only thing i would tell you to do is look at the feed back see what ppl are saying, also use the oem studs and not the bolts they give you!!

yeah, i'll be picking up a set once income tax monies arrive. the one guy on ebay who i saw had purchased them said the ceramic coating hadn't peeled yet - i didn't even think they were really coated but i really don't care as long as they aren't mild steel thats going to rust right away.

Here's a thread http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=477067 from another forum where someone was considering the same headers.

The seller has some negative feedback on the headers...
"The part didn't really fit my car. The installer had to hammer down the pipe."
Not sure what that means, but on the flip side there was another dude that gave positive feedback. Those welds on near the collector look very suspicious.
