eBay Headers, will these fit? Any good? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

My exhaust system is bone stock, and I would like to go with a set of headers, and was curious if these are any good? Also will they bolt straight up? And if they will cause the O2 sensors to throw any codes?

Ebay Headers 1

or these?

Ebay Headers 2

been wondering this myself.. along with some ebay mufflers and tips and see what happens... under 1k into a full exhaust system, if it last 10 years them id be more than happy...

On the top link; They will work, you will have to pay a shop to weld in an extra 2 bungs for the rear o2's and use the stock gasket. I had these on my old 2010 l99 with no fitment issues and they sounded great, are great quality don't let anyone tell you different. I would recommend having a way of tuning the vehicle afterwards as this is going to make the car run like crap and throw CEL'S. You have to have the rear o2 plugged in even without the cat to keep the CEL'S from poping up. The LS3 may have fitment issues with the oxygen sensors hitting the bottom of the car but this can be remedied with welding in extra bungs to relocate.

Last tip; if a shop installs these you have nothing to worry about because they are skilled at adapting when it gets to custom exhaust. If you do it your self leave extra time during the install as something may pop up such as fitment issue(oxygen sensors and connecting to oem cat back.

Best of luck and I hope you enjoy what a real Kamaro sounds like! Day and night difference if you go without the cats.

With ebay headers you have a 0-100% chance that they will fit perfect with no modifications. They aren't built to the specifications that a more expensive header like Kooks where they are supposed to fit every time guaranteed.

IMHO ,just get the TSP or SP headers and save yourself any problems. Both fit and function perfectly .

Ajdin@A2BMotorsport · 09-08-2015, 04:57 PM

Ive heard alot of Horror stories about ebay headers, best bet is TSP or SP on a budget. You will also need O2 Extensions and someone to tune out the rear O2's, a proper dyno tune is recommended to get the most out of any LT Header upgrade.

Look for speed engineering on eBay. Same price. Also search the forum for eBay headers.
The speed engineering received a good review from a c5 member. Provably what I'll put on my car. Bolt right up with no probs.

I also contacted speed engineering directly and asked for a picture of the inside of the collector as I was concerned about the presence of a merge spike.

They do have one and the picture I received put my concerns to rest.

I've also heard good things about obx headers

Squishy · 09-08-2015, 07:40 PM

62nalide · 09-08-2015, 07:53 PM

I would also not suggest you use the cheap bolts they send with those kits. Like others have said use OEM gaskets and pick up some good header bolts. As for fitment, they should be fine.
These companies use high end parts for the specs for theirs. They can sell them for cheap because they have no research and development costs and most of the time do not stand by the parts they make. It's a roll of the dice my friend!

Spend a little bit more money and get some Stainless Works headers. Several forum sponsors sell them. They fit well and they'll last longer.

supergt99 · 09-09-2015, 11:07 AM

I used speed engineering. They fit perfect.

Will the Speed-Engineering headers fit to the stock (NPP for me) cats?

Also, If I opt for the off-road connection pipes, will that require fab work?
