Question Thinking about Purchasing Headers...Opinions?

Here's the scenario:

I have a GMMG catback, and a CAI. I'm looking to purchase some longtube headers now, but I don't want to spend a lot while I'm in college.

Basically, I want performance gains and some extra noise, but I just want something cheap for now that I can re-sell about 5 years down the road when I can afford better headers.

I found a cheap stainless set of Headers/ORY made by Phab on eBay:

What are your opinions? I'm mainly concerned about fitment.



My other option is to purchase some painted Pacesetters and a stainless ORY that I can reuse in the future with different headers.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: LPP is another brand I'm considering.

I personally got the black painted pacesetters and had the shop fab a y-pipe, go with the ceramic if you want to be able to sell them down the line. the paint burns off that they originally have and start getting a rust to them depending on how well you take care of them.

great difference in sound and power but cost a bit to have the shop put in due to the lack of space our engine bay has. but now you can actually see the spark plugs and change them without just sticking your hand down and feeling for it.

When you get your headers, your car will sound awesome with that GMMG !

I get voted best sounding car at the autocross every time. I'm not fast, but sound badass fast. Ha!

I actually purchased LPP headers. What a hassle that was. Nice product, but awful customer service. I'm planning on putting them on next month with help from a family member who works on cars.
