I was wondering if these ebay headers are good? does anyone have it? and what is the quality of it? any improvements?

That's the worst part of it - breaking the manifold nuts loose. You have to be real careful not to snap the stud - then you're drilling it out and retapping. If the nut is froze to the stud and the whole stud spins out don't worry because you can get new studa and nuts. PB Blaster is the best thing to use - I soaked mine down and let it sit for about 30 minutes then tapped on them. Mine actually broke free using only my Craftsman 1/2" ratchet! The 3 bolts on the flex pipe are the ones that are boogers. I had to soak them and use my 24" breaker bar - and thought I was going to snap the bolts. But after putting some muscle into it they came free with no damage. I think it took me between an 1 to 1.5 hours to complete the job.
