Which Ebay headers?
Now that I found the Y pipe, which Ebay headers are you guys using? A link would be nice. My truck is a 99 V10, 4.30, CC, 4WD. I did bid on the Borla header and Y but felt they went for way too much, since they were used. You could buy Thorleys for a couple hundred more new but if Flebay cheapies are giving results why spend more with todays economy.

i don't recommend ANY of them..........BUT there are people on here who have had good luck out of theirs, so it's kind of a toss up.
i personally saw 2 sets ruined after one mud trip, once set cracked at the flange and another set cracked at the collector. once they got hot, when water hit them stick a fork in them they were done........
now there are plenty of guys on here that run them for pulling, and havn't reported any bad things.
I run the banks headers, GREAT power gains, VERY HEAVY DUTY.

The ones I bought, the seller is gone.
The ones that are currently on there, one is going for $125 ($30 shipping), the other for $225 (free shipping), the headers themselves look identical, the bolts the same, the gaskets are different.
Sellers rep's look almost identical, etc. etc.
Toss up, really...

I installed a set from JBA. All my exhaust manifold studs were rusting off. I could not see replacing the studs and reinstalling the stock manifolds. The following is the set I used on my 2000 x 4wd
JBA Performance Exhaust Part #:1669S Cat4ward® Shorty
The headers match up to the stock y pipe with no problems. All in all a good product. I recommend them.
