Buying headers this week

[Timing]

Im going to order some speed daddy headers this week. Are the ebay version and actual website the same exact thing?
HEADER - STAINLESS STEEL - 97-03 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX 3.8L V6
STAINLESS SS RACING MANIFOLD HEADER/EXHAUST GRAND PRIX/GTP/REGAL/IMPALA 3.8L V6 | eBay

Also ive heard the gaskets suck so what ones should i buy and will i be ok with the clamps that come with it?

Here is the procedure you'll be asking about next.

You want to go on Frozenboost.com and buy 2 2.25" and 2 3.00" exhaust band clamps. They are about 1" wide.
Gaskets..reuse your stock manifold to head gaskets. Use the one they gave you for the catback connection.

Pontiac Performance Racing Products for International Sales from SSAutochrome Inc.
SSAC Headers are also the same, sometimes cheaper. Ebay is where most buy them from, same just "on sale" on ebay. $225 shipped, but same, you want to use the stock exhaust gasket and get new band clamps.

I am in the midst of installing speed daddy's - they fit really good IMO. I use similar clamps to what BillBoost said by mine are about 4" wide instead of 1". Either way ditch the ones that come with the headers to connect the slip joints.
