Default Ebay headers for my Superformance?

Hello,
I am looking for headers for a Superformance Cobra. There is a set listed on eBay right now with some codes stamped on the flange... UN10262 and what appears to be a date code 11/04/12. They are listed for $899 for the set.
I have a mid 900 series Cobra with a 351 with aluminum GT40X heads. Does anyone know if these heads will in fact fit this car? Is this a decent deal? Are there better options for similar or less money?
Thanks for your help.

If they are Superformance headers and specific to your engine they should fit.

Things to look at:
Flange bolt spacing. Normally 2" centers around the ports, set in a straight line. Is this what your heads have? Some heads have the bolts at top left or right and then bottom left or right (opposite the top). I don't think Superformance ever built a set for this bolt layout.

Superformance had at least two different tube designs. One a single diameter tube another with a slight step diameter. Neither has significant advantages over the other.

The head face to header/sidepipe dimensions are all common as the same sidepipes are used for all engines.

Not sure on the price as I've been out of the Superformance ranks for a few years now. But I doubt that there are many available on the used market.

An aftermarket set as offered from Firefly Performance Products will cost a bunch more. I have a set of these but they are for AFR 205/225/220 heads with a 3" bolt spacing.

Jim, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. My heads do have the 2” straight line spacing you mentioned. I’ll verify those dimensions with the seller.
