Anyone used these LT1 headers?

I keep seeing these on Ebay, and I'm wondering if these headers are any good? If this is legit, or just an Ebay scam? People always seem to be bidding on them, and it looks like the guy has sold many sets...? They sound like a good set... 1-3/4" tubes, stainless, emissions hookups, dual cat setup... but are they?

Anyone have any experience with these?

I would not personally buy them. There is no warranty or return and all sales are final. The price is real good but have no Y pipe included and are not available coated. The fitment is unknown and most leave feedback without installing them first. Someone should know for sure but I thought headers for 93-97 Lt1's are different for some years. I can't say not to buy but you get what you pay for.

I agree, I thought it did look like too good of a deal as well... but if someone here has used a set, and thought they were good, then maybe it really is just a good deal? Doesn't look like they would need a Y-pipe, being dual cat headers. Most other dual cat shorties don't have a Y-pipe. I'm pretty suspicious of these as well, but thought I'd ask.

Those are the biggest collector flanges I've ever seen. THose look like real nuckle-cutters during installation.

The collector on the one header looks really strange to me. The ID is not much larger than the port opening!

So are these just a knockoff of SLP headers?

Car is stock engine wise except for the 1.6 rockers and new LT4 springs. Just boltons only. I didn't want to spend any money on it since I have plans to build bigger and better some day when this ones blows up. As far as 1/4 mile I would guess mid 12's but haven't gotten to the track since my latest upgrades. My best is 13.42 and that will be blown away this spring.

I guess they found a good design and copied them. They look familar and I remember the slp looked somewhat like these.

I've had my eye on them for a while....they are for a dual cat LT1 Z28.

I want Kooks, but the price.....ouch.

If you get them, let us know how they work.

This is the first set of headers that I have seen where one port empties into the side of the merge collector. Some strange designs going on here.
