Compare the welds for yourself. If you feel the ebay headers have good enough welds, then give them a try and tell us how it went after about 10k miles, if they survive for that long.

i had a friend who bought ebay headers and they did make a nice difference in power, not sure about longtivity, but probably doesnt give you the same power as name brand but they work

The only headers that will make a significant difference for the G have turbos attached to them. Besides race headers that eliminate the cats, everything else makes a barely noticeable difference.
