Anybody happy with them?

I'm not looking for anything expensive and some people seem to like them.

Experiences?
 
I have what I'd assume are Chinese they were American sellers. The fender wells on my k5 were $108 and still look OK the bolt holes needed a little mousing out on the ends. Just got another set of BBC 304ss truck. Headers but they won't be mounted for a couple weeks

Yes that is the thread that got me thinking about them.

I can't find any updates from him in 3 years

The top one says it will not fit a Blazer
 
dont know, my brother says you have to have stainless steel wire or rod depending on methed
 
You can run o2 in the collectors. Just order stepped bung and they do come in stainless.
Second, you can weld them tig or mig with mild steel filler but the welds themselves will rust.
 
I am going to weld In the header
Hope the local exhaust guy can weld stainless
 
Don't know if the price has come down on the O2 bungs or not, but you can use jam nuts. M18x1.5 is the thread (edit). Used to be far cheaper than purpose made bungs.

A stainless bung can be as cheap as $4 on eBay. Sometimes the key is finding one without the plug. If I wanted that hole plugged, why would I cut a hole and weld the bung in? Or plug it with a sensor, ya know?
 
I scored these off CL for $200. Hopefully they fit!

What years did they put air pumps on them? Can I just plug those holes?

It's 18 × 1.5
 
I have a set of the eBay stainless on my 75. They’re supposedly for a stock Vortec engine in a mid 90’s 4x4 truck.

I’m running vortec heads. They fit great but every pair I’ve seen varies in quality
