There's a few people running that setup on svtperformance. They have not had any complaints yet. Theres a link to one person below. Of course there is alot of stuff I would have done differently. But any way.

I read all six pages of that thread and I like that idea. He saved a lot of money and it gave him the flexibility of choosing different parts, not just what some company gives you in their kit.
I will bet money it is cheap stainless. It will most likely crack some where at some point. These kits have show that to be a issue. But you can afford to repair them a few times for what you pay for the kit. And guys are making good power with these Ebay kits. Should be a fun project as long as heat is not a problem.
Another thing to watch is the cross over. Those flex pipes are known to collapse inside. But you can't tell from the outside.
The crossover seems to hang low. Clearance with A arms and tie rod ends could be a issue. Especially on a lowered car.
Like I said above I took the piping to a fab shop to get it looked at before I did anything.
They said the stainless is fine, the welds look great. There is good penetration of the welds and color. I've seen an Ebay turbo header for a Fox before, you can't compare these two together. It's like night and day.

Did they say what material it is? Are they meteorologists? I have no doubt the welds could be nice and have good penetration. But different grades of stainless steel have different properties. Some do not deal will with heat and fatigue easier.
Not trying to argue, just asking.
I know a couple people with the Ebay kits. Some faired better than others. But like I said for the money they can be worth it.

Yes he did. Great horsepower for what he spent. I've already spent way more then he has, so maybe I can do better. Who knows.
