Stone Mountain Racing Stainless Headers?

I told myself I wasn't going to spend the $ and time on headers. However, ebay has quite a few Stone Mountain Racing headers for the V-10 up for bid.

They are being distributed by SSAutoChrome and the price is low (I know...get what you pay for?)

If someone has any experience with them one way or or the other, it would really help me make up my mind.

I have a set.I had to drill out the holes a little.It was a hard install, but worth it.The quality on these are very good,just had to hog out the mounting holes.Get some good copper gaskets from SCE gaskets, and get longer bolts.8mm 1.25X22mm.

Just because something is inexpensive doesn't mean it's cheap. The internet has, and will continue to radically change the way commerce is done in this country and around the world. Unfortunately alot of middlemen will go under. So paying your local parts retailer 50%+ profit for headers will not be your only possibility. Instead of paying for some flunkie to offload the truck into a warehouse, then reship to the local parts house, where he pays a flunkie to unload, then unbox, then dust off, then hang up a set of headers, you have them shipped right to your door. The problem will be if you do have a problem, fixing it will be harder. But that's the price we pay. I wouldn't be scared of these headers, several guys here have them, with good results, Ken
