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.

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.
