Hi,
See below:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PROFLOW-STAINLESS-STEEL...

Are they ok? I know they are not Pacemakers, but they are also cheaper.

Opinions?

I've got a set in my garage for my monaro just got to get around to fitting them . Out of the box I can't fault them welding and bends look good and the stainless looks good quality (non magnetic) . I can take some close up pics if you want to inspect them closer. Got them from vpw.com.au with 7 day delivery to my door.

I can vouch for the company (Tuffcarparts) having dealt with them twice now. Excellent service, (no bullst like a lot out there). The headers are chinese made but are copies of the Pacemakers.

I'd say you can't go wrong at that money.

I found tuff parts would not ship an item that large.

I bought from VPW and as said 7 days to the door. The quality of the collector welding is ok not great but the exterior and the quality elsewhere is great. They fit fine bar one clearance issue which is my fault due to a chassis leg repair but fine other wise.

I have pics on here under a earlier post

Thanks,
Are Monaro and VXR8 headers the same item, or different?

Do they come with the downsizing pipe and flange to weld onto your exisiting exhaust or do you have to buy it separately?

Thanks

Yes they come with reducing flange and gaskets for the head flange but you may also want to order o2 wire extentions and plug lead heat protectors at the same time.

See my post. They have the down sizer. Min com as 3.5-2.5 down size. There really clean welds too.

You also get new nuts and studs too

You mean from VPW?

If so, can I join the wagon? Spoke to them and was not gonna order till July, but this way maybe we could share the shipping?
