Default Different Types of Headers

Different Types of headers, i was looking to buy a set of headers and i seen a bunch of different ones on ebay, what are the differences between say this set

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/98-02...Q5fAccessories

and this one


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Paces...Q5fAccessories

are the brand names worth the huge difference in prices?

Just as most things in life, you get what you pay for. The Pacesetter headers are probably going to fit better, flow better etc. That said Pacesetter aren't even considered a "high end" brand. It is highly recommended that you get a header that is either stainless or ceramic coated, painted headers will rust through in a few years. If you're on a budget I would recommend Pacesetter coated headers. You can be a guinea pig and try the off-brand headers, but it could be $150 down the drain.

from what i can see, one of your links had fittings for emissions while the other did not.

Also, it's interesting to see the generic one claims 6-10 HP gain from Long Tubes.

I wonder why so low?????
