Haha... They are very high quality headers, but as anyone will tell you, they have horrible ground clearence. I'd reccoment a different brand.

They dont "suck", but do not make as much peak RWHP as other headers. They also have HORRIBLE ground clearance, as said above.

I wouldn't ever buy them....

I remember that.

And yes, they pretty much suck. Totally not worth the price.

They are made very well. Nice craftmanship. Numbers are nice also (see sig). Clearance sucks on a lowered car.

I had them on my old car and i must say ground clearance was not very good compared to the hookers i have on my car now. As far as that they were awesome IMO. The quality was great and they fit really well, no problems at all.
