Although the Ebay headers' driver's side "hump" isn't all that pretty, it also isn't that big of a deal to work around, if you want (arguably) the best longtube/Y pipe deal out there.
Tomorrow, will be exactly one year since I installed my $300 Ebay stainless longtubes and it's included Y pipe on my 2002 Z71 ECSB and I have yet to experience a problem with spark plug wires due to the dreaded "hump". All I did was "wrap" the two plug wires that are closest to the pipes with insulating wrap (like used on a turbo) and that's it. The one at the hump actually lays right on the pipe. No issues, ever.

I used DEI 3/4 inch plug boots to protect my wires from the hump. It took a little effort to slide them over the end of the plug wire, but they've worked for 4 weeks now. Google part #DEI- 010409. They were under $15 shipped.
