Now i went on to ARH website and looked at all there dealers to find pricing and not one had F body headers listed. Wonder why.
That's probably because their site hasn't been updated. Several vendors on here carry them.

Thanks. They didn't come that shiney from the factory though. I polished them up with an air-powered die grinder, various grits of polish, & buffing wheels.
No, they didn't send the gaskets in the pics. Those are Percy's aluminum gaskets. I didn't use the ones that AR sent.

Lots of their vendors have them with prices listed. Check LMP.

Hey GMmexican,

I had a QTP set up, the one in my sig, I no longer have it, reason ? It sucked on fitment. My headers were resting on the k member, I hear ticks like exhaust leaks when I had not a single one and their y pipe was the worst!!!!



Ohh and off topic, I went out tonight to Sunnyvale, I dont know if you go there but I didnt see you, I know you wanted to see my black ZR1s.

well i just got my ARH's today, the quality so far looks awesome, I've talked to one of the guys there a few times and is really helpful and nice. Can't tell you how they fit quite yet but I'm pumped to get them on.

I shoudln't bother to polish them up should I? Even the y pipe, they're just going to turn brown right?

I didn't have significant fitment problems with my QTPs. I think mine stemmed from sagging mounts. Either pick is a good pick.

I'm probably going to buy QTPs in the next couple of weeks. I do find it interesting that Summit's website has the QTP headers cheaper than the QTP website. How's that work? Both are race style. $688 vs. $724

I know ARH are top of the line but the price difference is making me lean towards QTP

Ohh thats nice too. I had chrome 10 spokes and ALOT of people liked that look.
And yeah, people go out Sunday nights in Sunnyvale, right on Lawrence express and El Camino. They hang out in the parking lot then they go race.

I would think the price difference would make you lean towards ARH. For $130 more you get a header that not one person has had problems with.
