Default Schinfield headers review.

I bought the 1 3/4" Long tubes for $165 or so + $shipping.

DO NOT BUY THESE THINGS. Flanges are 1/4 inch thick! Almost as soon as I powered the 385ci up, it spit the metal gaskets out and both sides warped really bad.

I called up the company and their response was
"All our headers are like that, heat can move flanges around."

I will post this on every forum i know. Very sorry service, cheap headers ( I guess you can't expect much out of $165 headers, but at least they shouldn't warp as soon as engine starts up )

Had to re do the flanges.

I guess they put them on for a pattern so you can make some that are worth a damn.
