both look to be quality pieces, just your preference i guess
Which Ebay headers?
I only found two options. Are either of these a good choice for a shorty header?

Have not sen any of these... I would look on the internet at the company and the product prior to purchase.
Looks just like the set I bought a few years back from SSAutoChrome.
They added some decent performance for the money and were easy enough to install. I ran them for just over 2 years until I found them both cracked.

I wouldn't go with either of them if it were my truck.

What Big Green V10 said
Thats not really always true. (look at fram garbage).. Some companies just have bigger markups and better marketing.a lot of ebay stuff is made by the manufacturers of the big name stuff, just without the distributor putting their name on it and doubling the price...sometimes it junk sometimes its just as good or even better... best thing to do is get feedback from actual owners of the product and not those who are just speculating... remember china has come a long way in the last few years...the products have changed a bit... even craftsman tools are made there now along with most of the worlds crankshafts...I wouldn't go with either of them if it were my truck.

I just ordered some ebay headers after going through the sellers past purchases of those headers and contacting those who had them for a while.... everyone recommended them and said they turn brown but otherwise are holding up great...I have to replace my pacesetters which cost twice as much and cracked right at the collector...they are also rusting badly so...
They don't make LT headers for your truck? I wouldn't get those buddy, if you go cheap my advice is to use all different hardware cause I bet those header bolts will snap.
+1^^ yes I do agree with that...mine came with grade8 stainless bolts and felpro gaskets but many do come with crappy bolts and no name gaskets which get mixed reviews..
One more thing and then I will shut up.. The Mopar performance headders I put on my 5.2 in 1999 are still on the truck and one of my warehouse guys is still driving the truck.. the finish is all gone after 12 plus years but they are still on there.
what are they made of? stainless? are they ceramic coated?...depending on what they are made of they should hold up. (who here is honestly planning to keep their +10 year old truck another 12 years?)One more thing and then I will shut up..

mine are 14 gauge stainless and were 120.00 I know a guy who has had them on his truck for three years and they are discolored with minor surface rust on the flange... To me its a no brainer over crappy steel headers like pacesetters...

I know exactly what your saying about fram junk.
As to the cheap hardware mentioned by someone, I make it a practice to use good hardware and gaskets on all my builds.
As far as longevity of the header, realistically I wont have this truck long enough to worry about it as plans are to buy a newer one in the next couple years if not sooner. Even if I do end up needing to replace them once its probably still cheaper to buy a couple sets of these that one set of big name headers.
Will they be an improvement over the stock manifolds as far as flow not just looks and weight?
