Short headers vs stock

Hi all, i have been assured buy the seller these short headers WILL fit my right hand drive C43, but would love it if someone can confirm this...


https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fits-Mer...4AAOSwPR9b5VtT

the seller says they have sold many over seas and no complaints.

are these headers worth trying? What sort of improvements will they give on a 5.4ltr?

thanks!

yeah they fit without moving the engine the difficult part is getting to the rear bottom stud nuts. no improvement as the flange to down pipe is smaller than stock at least mine where maybe you should meauser yours. Also you should use double factory gaskets on each cylinder
