Found some LS headers, not sure though

I found some cheap stainless mid length headers on ebay... by the pic they almost look like the hedman headers I had on my 355ci. I wonder if these would work, they exit the rear almost where they need to... from what I can tell.

What do you guys think? I just hate the thought of spending almost a grand on a set of long tubes right now. Though I know that is the best route to go power wise, but I'd like to get it together then upgrade in the future.

I also noticed that place that sold the cheap long tube headers went out of business, Racing innovation. Wish I could find find a set of long tubes for that price again.

Doubt those would clear in our cars.

I didnt know racinginnovation is out of business.Their website is still up and running and the lsx headers they offer are out of stock.When I got my set i put my email on the waiting list and had my set withing a week and a half.Have you tried calling them directly to confirm?

Re: Found some LS headers, not sure though

Evidently my buddy is retarded.. He said he called them and their phone was disconnected. I checked their site and its still up, called them and the phone worked. Of course its still too early for them to be open. So I put myself on the waiting list... those look like a decent set of headers for the money.

I doubt those mid length headers would clear either, so I'm not going to try.

I'd guess that they would fit.

But, I'll let someone else experiment.
