pros - cheap
cons - theyre junk. this flangers, msot dont fit all that well, sometimes the welds come apart and you can go for pace setters for a few bucks more and have a much better header

I've heard some say that they are decent headers and several say they have pretty crappy flanges. I'd go with Pacesetters for a little bit more money.
