That I can see they don't mention if they are equal or unequal lenght. Equal giving more power but you lose the bubble exhaust tone, unequal bubble remains but not as much power.

I've bought a set of Ebay and although the mouth or the pipes needed alot of finishing smoothing and grinding down, they did turn out very nice and fitted very easiler.

At the end of the day, they're just bent bits of tube(tongue in cheek). Its the brackets, welds and fittings that you've got to make sure are good quality, plus they actual tube lenght if they too long or short they can destory the cars performance. Made right and you'll get loads of gains.

I would not buy anything off ebay, why do want these ?? are you thinking of going over 350 brake?? the standard cast ones ported are much better....unless your going for big power.
If you don't use the correct size up-pipe you will make the car slower not faster due to losing exhaust gas speed. (slower turbo spool up)

Get your standard ones ported and matched to a good up-pipe or leave well alone.

i was looking for parts on e bay and just came across those headers and then read it and they claimed a 25 bhp increase just buy bolting them on !!
i would like my car 300bhp or there abouts but keeping every thing safe and reliable.. so no real need for the headers any way then ? at mo i have hks full 3" decat st zorst and hks mushroom filter only had car for about 12 days so looking at getting a bit more power out of her ..

cheers
