Default Opinions on headers from AMK

Has anyone bought the stainless shorty headers from AMK off of e-bay? Are they any good?

It's just a daily driver now, I don't race it any more. I wanted long tubes back when I built it but ran out of money. I have the factory headers on there now because I had to send the Mac headers back due to cracks and never got them back.

Never got them back??? I'd be contacting them, saying I will get my repaired headers or a new set back from them...

When they were sent back the second time they said they were on back order because they were jet hotting everything. The garage that did the work on my car sent them back and knew the guy at mac( we raced with him). I got married and bought a house so couldn't afford to race any more so I wasn't hanging around the garage as much. Went for a visit one day and they were closed down so i never got them back. I had to put the factory headers back on until I got the headers back, still a daily driver.

You can find some great deals out there with used headers.
I bought bbk LT's ceramic used for around 125 on e-bay.
If you got 500 hp I wouldnt gamble on unknown headers or such.
It sucks the guy closed shop. Seems like it's the thing to do now a days!!!
