I know there not stainless but for the price they look great. I'm just curious if there a very similar design as the ARH and flow almost the same ?

i have them but i dont really have the other info you want lol. the quality of the set i got are pretty good though. the welds seemed really nice. the drivers side was a pita to install. ended up have to do the motor mount on that side and lifting the motor up and using a little gentle persuasion to get it in. passenger slipped right in.

Thanks for the info/feedback! That's spot on with all the feedback we've received and what we've had to do on the installs here. The easiest way is to remove that driver's side motor mount and torque the engine over to the passenger side to get that header in. After that, the fitment once in place is very nice!

OK that's great to know because I was going to do poly inserts anyway when I do my headers. Still want to make sure these would equal the power increase of the AR because I'm trying to decide between the two.

The perk ARH 1 7/8" headers offer over ours is that high velocity merge collector. It is a a very nice piece, and of course theirs are stainless. I can get you into a set of ARH at competitive pricing as well, of course! For the money though, ours are very hard to beat
