I bought some stainless shorty headers from Amazon for around $70, I believe they are about the same as what is available on eBay. I have not installed them yet as I am waiting to complete a rebuild of my spare motor before dropping the whole new assembly in. It may be a while since my current motor (171,000) is still running strong). But, they seem to be pretty decent quality for the price, was thinking of doing a heat wrap on them before installing. Everything I have read review wise says that the bolts don't fit and the gaskets are garbage. Pretty much everyone bought new bolts and better quality gaskets. I knew that going in and am ok to buying new gaskets and bolts as the price for the headers was pretty good.

Those are for a hemi.

DNA has longtubes for $280 on Amazon. Better quality than the Pacesetters they're a copy of

I bought a set of eBay headers a couple years ago. 1.5" runner diameter, 2.25" collector diameter. Added a bit of moderate-high-throttle power.

No leaks so far. For the ~$125 I paid for them, I figured the gaskets would be "LOL-class." They were. Seriously, the things were some kind of sticky, 1/8th-inch "material." I left them in the box and awaited a purchased-ahead set of Remflex gaskets for ~$40 to handle the sealing. HUGE difference in overall thickness and general quality. If I ever purchase different headers or headers for anything else I may own, I'm going with this brand. Expensive, but in this case, you do get what you pay for.

I tried to buy a pair of Ebay headers but they won't ship to California. ended up with some Summit racing house brand shorty headers. had to sign an electronic waiver stating it is off road use only. only then would they send the headers. the quality is pretty good, would get them again. Bought some Headman headers for my other truck. nice quality but they don't fit the Magnum blocks due to some clearance issue. they do fit the LA blocks no problem. not sure they're worth the extra dough over the Summit brand though.
