Default eBay headers?

I was just wondering whats the difference between these headers and $400 headers by JBA ect... Anyone have these? I heard they are knock off JBA's (obviously a knock off of some sort) and would they be worth getting?


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-...ht_2317wt_1504

What would be the downside of buying such cheap headers? They look good and awhile ago on here someone mentioned that they have nice quality welds...


Maybe they are so cheap because they are steel?

I don't want to have to redo the whole exhaust system pretty much at the moment and I'm not looking to spend that type of money! You're the only 6 I know of with LT's in this section! Not too common on our cars.

Yeah, those are definitely JBA copies. They're cheap because they're likely made in China with wages of about 37 cents an hour.

I figured that much they were from China or some other related country, do you think they would be worth it by looking at them?

I don't have stock exhaust and my car already sounds nice IMO so I think I'm going to give it a shot. Its only going to be around $100 with shipping.

If I had the money i'd buy the ones from tx_stang instead. I was considering Kooks once money allows.

Appreciate the offer! But as stated before I'm not looking to redo my exhaust system and I'm not looking to spend that much. Lime; I found the youtube video with these knock offs and I think it sounds good.
