Has anyone bought these Mazda 6s headers from ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-07-03-04...d=p4506.c0.m245

They are from DPT Motorsport and cost $143.98 + $39.98 shipping. For this price I cannot believe they are any good, but you never know. At this price, I had to ask.

Thanks

A couple people have and they are pretty low quality. If you know someone that can go over the welds and bend the pipe away from the axle than your good to go. Otherwise spend a little more for something closer to plug and play.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be many, or any, decent choices for 6s headers. There's a post on here about a group buy (cpe, I think), but they are for only '03 - '06 6s's. Mine's an '07. There are a couple other companies offering similarly priced headers on ebay, but they all look exactly the same.

I have a MIG welder and could buy some stainless wire and go over the welds myself, but I don't know anyone that could bend the pipe. I guess at this price I could afford to pay a shop to do the entire thing, weld, bend, fit, and install.

PS. Yours has got to be the best avatar I've ever seen... over and over and over again!
