It depends on which eBay company you get headers from. They're not all the same. There are a few that have smaller primaries and a 2 3/4" collector. I got mine from dptmotorsport and they look amazing. Great welds, and awesome fitment. Just a little, FYI.

I have had a set of coated pacesetters on my car since early 07, daily drive my car. They still look good, just now starting to get some surface rust up top, and its minimal at that.

How are they at the collectors, though? That's where it's going to rust.

Ground clearance is OK, a little better than the HOOKER super competition.

Plug access and bolt access is great.
I dont know if you could go without doing the OVC wires. I've alays done it in my Camaros.

They do look alike but are not exactly the same. LPP's are stepped 1 3/4 into 1 7/8" They also have merge collectors. Best bang for the buck.

They are not really 90 deg. At least the ones I bought. Probably 135. Take a look at the picture. The distributor boots poit upward at about 45 deg.
They fit great when doing OVC wires but it does not really matter.

Regarding the other headers from the link that you posted, I really dont know if they are the same they dont state the primaries diameter or if they are stepped. There are no specs written down, just a picture. Look up Lamonte performance for the original ones or ask these other guys for the specs.

how was the install? straight forward from the bottom?
Regarding the install, I did it when the engine was out. We then installed the engine complete with headers and k member thru the bottom. Maybe someone else who has installed them with the engine in the car can tell.
