Are These 300 Headers?

I seen this on eBay and would like to know if they look like they are actually for a 300 and if they look like a good buy. Thanks.

They look very close to the Dynomax headers I have.

At the current bid of $16, they are a great buy!

Yeah, was gonna say they looke like Dynomax headers. They match up with my exhaust manifold(I'm doing headwork on mine, so I had the gasket right here)I'd say get them.

Aren't tube headers known for rusting out quick and getting holes in them? That's what my dad said anyways, maybe he just doesn't want me to get them. haha.

Can someone look at the 2nd and 3rd pictures? Of the ports. I only see one hole for a bolt and little nubs on the rest. Is this how all headers are? It seems a little strange to me.

I'm not sure about the other header makes, but it's the same fastening setup as the Dynomax and the EFI manifolds.

Hooker headers have half washers welded onto them for fasteners. The stock manifold just has nubs for the washer to catch and hold it on.

Up north this could be a problem. Every vehicle I own has long tube headers on it. The oldest is the 73 Camaro that has seen limited street use the last several years. The set of headers on it have been on there for probably 15-20 years with no problems. My F-150 has had them for 5 years, and my Lightning has had them for almost 3 years. Headers are just like anything else. If you buy a good part and take care of it you will get good service life from it.

I was kinda surprised how long the Dynomax 300 headers are.
