Re: ls swap headers

Those pictures look the be the same ones that were selling on eBay a few weeks ago. Somebody ordered a set, hopefully they post a review, but appear to be the cheap Chinese knockoffs hawks had produced for a group purchase a while back.

I agree with you... i look at it like these imo its metal its not like you cant fix it assuming you can weld or know some one that can do it for cheap is it a hassle maybe is it worth it might be

with anything you get what you pay for !!!
but then again many so called high quality items come from china look at the iphone for instance some if not majority of it is built in china from what ive research awhile back i could be wrong just one example

high end wheel companys that cost $$$ usally come from china besides select few

so your really over paying for quality stuff thats made in china i would trust even if they say made in the usa to be honest but that just nit picking

not knocking china or made in usa products but thats just the nature of the beast at the end of day if you happy then it money well spent

another option is hedman headers mids and longtubes
