I've seen them on ebay as well.
They look like DC sport SS headers. But I can't see the DC insignia on them.

If they are DC Sport headers, they are worth more than that.
I've purchased things from that seller before and he seems true to his word.

those aren't DC's, the head flanges are different. i think those are the PRO-1 headers, which are a copy of the Fujitsubo headers, but made for a LHD car.

Yea, you're right.
The DC flange is thicker.
What is a LHD car?

Why didn't you get those headers on ebay?
If you missed the auction, email him and I'm sure that he will sell them to you for the price he listed them at.
They are a good deal at any price.

Yeah, I'm pissed right now - I checked "My EBay" a few minutes ago to make sure I was still winning these and they weren't there anymore! He took them off because "there was a mistake in the reserve or starting price" - yet he marketed them as being "no reserve" - what the hell is up with that?

I demanded him that he gives me the option to buy those headers at the price I was winning them at or I would report him to EBay - let's see what happens...

Maybe he realized that the headers were worth more than the $219 that he listed them for.
Good luck.

There not DC. DC's have CNC billed flanges with a tapered edge when it bolts to the head. These are Taiwan clones.

The look EXACTLY like polished Borla headers. These are probably the worst design of all of the headers.

yep - no where near equal-length... I really like the Pro-1 Headers, though - I was really bummed when I didn't get them for the $219 I should have...

Some things you'll want to be aware of when you buy imitation crap made in some unknown location, is the quality of the materials. Frequently these so called stainless steel headers rust. Why? Well first off, they're made of 409 stainless (i.e. very cheap) which rusts. 304 and 321 are the non rusting stainless steels. Second, the welds are not stainless, so those rust even faster.
