Default thinking about switching from QTP to ARH

i bought QTP lontubes but after hearing all the talk about the ARH's would it be worth the trouble of switching to the arh's...would i be downgrading or upgrading?

neither as far headers goes, but ARH has much nicer ypipe, especially if you bought that mufflex 4piece hunk of **** 2inches of ground clearance, banging, pull timing, loose power ypipe.

I wouldn't do it. The QTP headers look better and have better collectors, plus they're almost $200 cheaper. I'd venture a guess that QTP's would make the same or possibly more power than the ARH's due to the better collectors. Pair that with the fact QTP's are a proven header a thousand times more over than ARH and you have a winner in my book.
