Chinese Header? Would you do it?

[blahdo_s197gt]

Should I pick these up and get some exhaust heat wrap for the headers or just spend the extra $300 and pick up the pypes long tube headers with matching o/r x pipe?

Why not get pacesetter?

 

[claudermilk]

I wouldn't either. Why cheap out?

Considering how difficult it is to install headers in these cars, I would not put a cheap part there. It would suck to have to do that job twice, because you wanted to save a few bucks.

Most headers are made in China unless the manufacturer stats otherwise. The old adage "You get what you pay for." is as true today as the day it was first spoken. Regardless of it's Country of manufacturer, this holds true.

Not true. I've paid high price of MADE IN USA stuff and got very poor quality stuff. So it's not necessarily the price.

I don't think you guys read the listing. Maximizer. I am pretty sure that means it will maximize the power, and they aren't allowed to lie in advertising.

I say go for it, OP. And start saving money now for quality ones in about 1-2 years when these ones fall apart.

Seems like I paid not much more than that a few yrs ago for my BBK Ceramic long tubes and they fit great and have performed fantastic over the last several yrs! Maybe they have went up in price??

those look identical to the OBX headers I bought/installed 2 years ago. assembled well, good welds, thick flanges, installed as easy as you could expect for a header install, didn't have to mess w/ steering linkage. Re-used stock exhaust gaskets, the clamp that came to join the h-pipe was garbage, Still no rust on headers,would I buy them again HELL yes!

I went with ARH on both the '07 and '11 and the '07 was fairly easy to do. Now the '11 which I just installed last Saturday and they were a little bitch. But I did notice that you can pull the trans with out loosen the headers. Just something about if you have a stick.

Heat wrap will speed up the destruction of the headers.

Same thing on my auto. I was able to pull my transmission for my converter install with my ARH in place.
