So are QTP Headers really THAT good, as they claim?
How do they compare to Kooks for instance?

18 horse power over a kooks header? Bullshit.
There are going to be differences from say... a Pacesetter versus the QTP, but honestly, not big enough to buy into the sales pitch for that reason alone.

My QTP's had bad welds on one collector where you could see light through them and the other header was dinged up like it had been put on a car and taken off. They were drop shipped from QTP through WS6 store. WS6 Store said for me to send them back to them and I ended up with the first set of ARH WS6 Store sold and never looked back....
QTP are made in China and from what I have seen quality and fitment is hit or miss. And their Y pipe SUCKS if you plan on using it.....

I had it on my WS6. Never had any leaks or problems with them. Granted, I ran with a guy who had similar mods that got his headers off of a well known auction site and it ran neck and neck. Quality of the QTP headers can't be denied though.

Fact our headers are not made in China. If you wish to continue stating false facts you will be hearing from our attorney.
To the original poster. The dyno numbers that we state on the website are a comparison to the original SLP longtubes. Some one else on here also compared our to Pacesetters and had similar results.
We are out of stock right now on our 4th gen headers. We are developing our 5th gen headers now and then we will be going back and putting the 4th gens back in to production.
If you dont want to wait Kooks and ARH make a top quality header as well.
Thanks for your interest.

So does that mean the 4th Gen. ones will be going through a redesign? If not, I don't get why 4th Gens have to wait for 5th Gens... Odd.
Also, why not offer a 304 Stainless option on the Y-Pipe too, to match the headers? I know that Flowmaster merge sure is not stainless! Kind of pointless to have 304 on one and lower quality materials on the requisite other...

kind of relevant...i have some qtps 1 3/4" x 3" ls1 F body going up for sale soon...i have optimized them by removing any weld splatter/over weld in the all tubes...these things will flow...made 485rwhp with an a4 h/c/i 346...
i am wanting to try some 1 7/8 headers for my track car to squeeze a few more hp up top...
shoot me a pm, have ORY pipe too but might not be worth it due to shipping costs...
hyjack off
they are a great header

back on topic, when i got my headers out of the box i was really impressed by how they were made. it was the first set i had really ever seen that werent installed on a car. im really glad i bought them and that i went with stainless instead of coated. theyve been on the car about two years and still look good. really makes the engine bay look alot nicer having stainless and not having some rusted and flaking headers in there. only complaint i have about them is there was no QTP sticker in the box. wtf lol?!?!?

I couldn't be happier with my QTP set up. I purchased my off-road headers and Y-pipe in the spring of 2006 and was very impressed with the quality and fitment.
Even though the 3" Y-pipe may hang a little low...you absolutely can not beat having a 4" flowmaster collector already welded in. It sounds great with my Hooker catback. I've never had any ground clearance issues at all on my SS.
This has been my experience in the past four years.

Just stating my experience with your product.....

Ok my bad. So where are they made? Who makes them for you?
BTW I am quaking in my flip flops afraid to answer the phone because it might be your attorney
