Let us know about build quality and the like! Look pretty interesting, I have their long tubes and they are gorgeous. Whats your plan, twins, single? I wonder if they can hold onto a turbo without cracking.
Says 304 SS and all Tig Welded, Def will post pics when I get them.
Even if ya had to fab a brace off them from the front of the head or what not....if that's the only thing, I can live w that.
I have 2 trucks I wanna do
1st is a beater cheap sleeper build 1st Gen S10
2nd is my 03 SS Silverado
Havent really made the call on single or twin for either until I get the headers on and take a look and see which way to go

the only thing of note is that they are not symetrical - passenger header was fabricated without taking into account the 1" head offset - we cut and shortened the passenger header collector to make both sides match for installed length

I had them. Build quality was great for the price. Flanges where 3/8". Tubing is thin but the welds where really nice. I returned them when I decided to go from turbo to supercharger. They were a lot nicer than the AI SS long tubes I have now.
They are def a great buy if you can fit them but make sure you support the turbos well as I don't think they would hold up well with heat and the weight of the turbo.

Like I said I bought a set. Very nice welds, and the flanges are very thick, and not warped. The vbands fit together like ****, but I knew I was gonna cut them shorter so I can make the turn down. I feel like it's closer to 14g metal. I'm not hanging the turbos of the headers so I don't think they'll have no problem lasting awhile.

Also, you'll need to low mount your coils somewhere.

I thought the same thing, however one of them is manufactured shorter than the other. I think they did take into account the offset and manufactured them as down and forward headers. Up and forward they are definitely not even.
I'm running them Up and Fwd on my 1st Gen s10......gonna cut the #7 Primary and jog it around the back side of the steering shaft and shoot the steering shaft thru the #5 and #7 Primary
