$820 is a little steep for coated mild steel headers. The design doesn't look any better than what QTP, Kooks, ARH, etc put out, and theirs are stainless. That may be why they aren't popular.

They've always been around the LT1 B-Body community (Impala SS crowd). They make a quality header from a fitment fabrication point of view, but I've always thought the pricing was just too high. I've never seen their coatings hold up well at all either, usually rusting through the coating within a few weeks of installation on any cars in new england that see regular street use.

They have been making V6 F-body headers for ages, before there were many options....as soon as options came about, nobody really bought much of theirs anymore due to price. They're WAY too proud of their headers when you can get into the same or better performance, fitment, etc coated headers for half the price!

Yea I know them from when I had my impala SS. There customer service is great. They make all there headers in house. Not too many people complained about the coating, but I'm with u on the high price part.
