Inexpensive Stainless Headers on E-bay

Has anyone here used the "offshore" headers for '65-'68 Galaxies found on e-bay? They look a lot like the Sanderson but stainless steel. There are now a bunch of sellers and too good to be true pricing. I have searched other forums and not found much info on these.
Buy the way, this is my first post here. I have a '67 country sedan (390 2v) that I pull a '65 Sreamline camper with. The car was stock except for the carb. when I got it. A rust free car from Dallas. Mods I have done for safer towing include 1 1/8" front sway bar and a !" (anti) sway bar in back, front disc brake conversion, Cargo Coil springs and coil over shocks in back and stock springs and gas socks up front. I made a load leveling style hitch that runs up to the frame just behind the axle, halfway up the hump. Now it is time to massage a few extra ponies out of the old gal.
Headers are the first order of business here and the options run from these inexpensive e-bay ones to Stan's awesome but pricey "shortys", with a few in between. I sho be curios about these 'offshore" units.

Re: Inexpensive Stainless Headers on E-bay

Thee  have been a couple of threads on Ford Muscle from guys who have used these low cost stainless steel headers. The threads I have read seem to report good results.

Re: Inexpensive Stainless Headers on E-bay

Thanks XL70. I have been on every related forum I can find and only see where someone else asked the same question as I, without response. I see reviews for the same type of header for other cars, but knowing the fitment problems on '65-'68 Galaxies, I would like to know the experience from an actual install before spending the time and effort on these. If anyone can point to a post on another site about these   https://goo.gl/6QiKzd (link to e-bay) please share.
They look a lot much like a US made header that folks have said they have had issues with. Thanks again XL70!
