In this case, DC Sports. You could expect at least some semblance of quality control. With that said, I'd shoot for even a little better then DC Sports.

2 headers 1 engine
I see what you did there.

The one on the left in the image looks like it'll only be taking an o2 reading from cylinder #4, looks questionable but may not affect anything.

Cheap headers typically have tighter bends, causing more restriction and loses power. The metal may be lower quality, like T304 instead of T409 stainless, so it may rot out quicker.
