I found this and was wondering if it was a good product or just a scam.

Those Stone Racing headers that are generally found on ebay have notoriously bad fitment. That's the general opinion on this forum. So for the money, most would suggest just getting a quality y-pipe from a well-known company. In summary, they are probably not worth it, however, I don't have any first hand experience.
Also, most would maintain that if you're planning on staying N/A, then the gains of a complete header setup vs. the gains of a y-pipe alone aren't worth the extra cost when buying the product, as well as the extra cost when you potentially would have to install them.

i highly doubt u can get a good set of headers and a y pipe for 250. i agree with the above, if u love ur car spend the money on a quality y pipe instead. im sure this prouduct is legal, but fitment and gains are questionalbe, altho im sure ull get a few ponies even from these shorties.

The meer fact that they are claiming you get 30-35hp from their setup is reason enough to stay away from these people. just get a good Y-pipe from a known company and don't worry about headers... unless you can't live without that extra 35HP!!

This link should have the answer to your question:

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....untain+headers

Cliffs:

The y-pipe from that set will give you about the same gains as a Warpspeed, Budget, Cattman, etc, y-pipe, but the headers will not add much beyond that and so are not worth the install. Get Cattman or Hotshots if you really want headers.

I downloaded the picture from EBay and ran it in Photoshop. The resolution was pretty poor, but from what I could make out after enhancing it, the header welds looked crap.

They sure are pretty tho. If you want some bling under the hood those are definately the way to go.

I personally would stick with a trusted vendor, who stands behind their product. Just in case anything happens alittle ways down the road. This could also lead to a problem like mentioned above, take everything apart then nothing fits.
