Long Tubes on E-Bay for $279??? What's up???

Hey, whats up with those long tube headers on e-bay for $279 dollars? {item #2450209361}. Does anyone have these? If so, how do they perform? How did the install go? Also the 'Y' pipe is going for $125.... $400 dollars for Long Tubes and a 'Y' pipe? Please let me know as I'm on a budget... Thanks Bill...

i dont know if id trust them, you could always buy them via paypal and a credit card, then if they get there and they arent what you wanted, send them back.

never seen those, and have no idea how they would perform

I couldn't find that part number anywhere on the Pacesetter website. They do have a 70-2253 which is listed as being for the 98-99 LS1 F-body.

I'd e-mail the seller with a few questions!
Like: Is this a new design? Is this the right part number? Why can't I find that part number on Pacesetter's website? Are you sure these are for the 94-95 LT1 F-body.

Probably because that was the eBay ID# and not the actual part #...

Yes, that was the ebay's # {2450209361}. The part number for the headers is #70-2235, '94-'95 Camaro/Firebird Long Tube Headers. The company is listed as being in Phoenix, Arizona. Is the name of it Pacemaker? If so, how are Pacemaker headers?
I'm new at using this site. thanks, Bill...

Thanks again r/e 'you get what you pay for', 'pay pal & use a Visa', etc... I checked the Pacesetter's web site and no part number 70-2235 existed. I e-mailed them to ask them if its a new product. I'll post when they reply to me. One more question though, "How is the quality and fit on Pacesetters?". I will do a search and check also. THANKS AGAIN everyone! Bill...

FWIW, everything ive heard about pacesetter LT1 headers hints to them being garbage. And even if they are any good, who can support a company that uses that fake ferrari symbol

Thank You Bad Azzz, I won't get 'em. I did a search {I know, I know, I should have done that FIRST! sorry guys}, anyway I read some good and some bad on them but I don't want to take any chances. You know, like have my car all apart, with headers that don't fit. I'd be on the phone to Jet Hot or hooker asking for overnight delivery... thanks Bill./..

the seller has lots of positive feedback from selling "pacesetter" products.....there is even a set of longtubes sold to someone in that list.....
pacesetter just started selling LTs for the LT1

another FWIW my jet-hots looked almost identical to the pacesetter LT, the primaries are shaped the same.
i really like the pacesetter no-slip #1 primary design. i wonder the driver's side is to install?
also the pacesetter does not have 3 bolt collectors like hooker,jethot,flp, etc.
