Stainless steel headers

I was surfing the net looking for some headers and came across the stainless steel ones on ebay. They seem very cheap. Has anyone had anything to do with them, There must be something I am missing, Thanks

They ARE very cheap, made in China, by copying someone else's work. You get what u pay for.

The fact that those vendors claim the same headers fit BBO and SBO should worry you.

I bought a set of stainless headers from speed daddy on ebay for like 120 bucks .i have no idea where they were made . Ive been running them for about 4 years now with no issues, the flanges were nice and sealed really well with only basic manifold gaskets.I agree with Joe that headers aren't a one size fits all.My headers may have been better suited on a 455 because they do seem to sit a little low ,but not an issue at all on my car.The factory starter was a really tight fit but i went with a mini starter.I guess you roll the dice on these things in my case i was satisfied with the purchase.
