Default summit brand long tubes

I was looking around to see what headers were running on summit and i came across the summit house brand. Has anyone used these? wondering about fitment and quality. They are a few bucks less then pacesetters.

If the picture is correct they look like Pacesetter longtubes. Judging by the price they might just be rebadged like a lot of summit's stuff.

I would probably try to find some ceramic coated ones. Not just for keeping underhood temps down and retaining some longevity because they tend to rust even if you live in a dry climate. If you run your plug wires in relatively stock locations they can be pretty easy to burn on the passenger side with my pacesetters if you're not careful.

I have pacesetters now and had Jethots before these. I will NEVER go with ceramic again! I live in a dry climate and both have rusted. Next set of headers I buy will be stainless steel.

Summit does not "manufacture" anything.

It looks like obx still hasn't made a new batch, they were supposed to replenish the stick for their vendors like 9 months ago. Don't hold your breath
