That are like $225 with a hpipe? They say that they are compared to JBA's but I just wonder how they fit and if any modifications had to be made. I looked on his feedback and I see quite a few sold to people with Mustangs 05-09.
I know people say... "You get what you pay for" but I'm not rich so..lol I was looking at buying these sometime in the near future.

True. I'm not ready to buy any yet but those were pretty cheap and even with a H-pipe so I thought I would ask. :/

Doesn't hurt to ask but you can probably get a "high-quality" set-up with cats for like $750 - $850 used, and not only will the fitment, quality and clearance be better, but chances are you'll pay less for installation in the end, or have less of a headache yourself putting them in. Once again, IMO.

if you're looking for inexpensive headers, keep an eye on ebay seller holleyperformance. i bought my hooker ceramic coated lt's for $225...they were scratch and dent headers, but they were virtually perfect. i saved enough money on the purchase to have a shop do the install. they appear to fit flawlessly.

I concur, please don't put cheap shit on your nice car.

Do it right the first time.

DO NOT BUY THOSE!!!!!!!

A customer ordered a set from e-bay and brought them to us to install. The fit horrible, hit the steering shaft, leaked... you name it and they did it... he had thme on for a few months while he saved up for a set of BBK longtubes.
