You get what you pay for. If 375 is your budget for headers and you can not wait, then get them like I did. Yes they fit great, have a thick flange, the welds look OK but man will they rust in a daily driver. All the coating on my collectors has flaked off, and around the welds are little spots of rust. I have less than 10K miles with these headers. They started rusting before I drove on days with snow in Iowa, and I have been back in KS for a while now where we do not have near the salt on roads. I have wire brushed all the coating that would flake off, and painted the bottom half of my headers. I am keeping them until I decide if I want to go to a 408 and do things right starting with some stainless headers or something better.

rusty or not, they work the same way.
