I didn't see who made them, but I did notice the distinctive welds in the middle of the tube. ? If it fits your budget, your call.
Good luck, gwj

ssautochrome has a long history of faulty products in the past for import cars and alike. i frequent dakota forums and the 4.7L headers they make are junk. those "look" nice and are a great deal for SS headers but we all want products that last and dont fail. i would bet that the pipes and flanges are different grades and upon heating up they will stretch at different rates thus creating cracks. we wont know though until people start buying and putting some miles on them.

someone pointed out that it'd be strange for them to need a test mule OR pics if they designed the headers for the car.

They look pretty good to me just from the pics. Nice long primaries and very long collectors. The EGR location is for a 98-99 car, but that shouldn’t be any real problem for a 2k wanting to keep the EGR connected. The Air fittings have a pretty big diameter hole so I would recommend restrictor plates to keep the check valves from fluttering. Access to the spark plugs and clearance around the steering shaft “looks” like it will be fine, but it’s kind of hard to tell from the pictures. I think I would give them a try if I didn’t already have headers on both of my cars.

I think you have your answer. I'd look at a reputable header from one of our supporting vendors. These guys as you can see have a less than stellar reputation....
