Help with headers

Hey i know there are a ton of posts about ebay headers but can someone post a pic of what "good" headers look like? These things look odd because they are very different as far as the primary lengths, they are completely different on each side.... Don't wanna bother installing them if they are poopy... any help would be great! thanks guys

www.cattman.com .... i would go for those or even hs rather than the ebay ones...yes they're expensive, but why blow that much money on something and have it be 'second rate' ... if i were to drop that abount of money, i would want it to be reliable, and proven/tested...

I would love to see a dyno comparison of HS vs Cattman headers, seems like everyone is PRO Cattman (for me $529 vs $860 was a no brainer). I have HS headers and they work great. I have some pictures somewhere on my computer of my HS headers before I installed them.

yeah it does seem like cattman is more preferred than HS, but i think it's because they are a very reputable organization that a lot of people trust, and they have great quality...I, myself would probably end up getting cattman, but I definitely wouldn't mind HS if i were in the market for headers any time soon....i'm sure the HS headers are also great though, and I, too, wouldn't mind seeing a dyno comparison between the two...

i think everybody just assumes that a higher price means a better product. that's not always true.
