If they are alumized steel... they are junk.. Don't buy a aluminzed steel header...

Spend the money and go with Kooks..(they don't/won't sell a alumized steel pile header)

It's between American Racing and LG for me...although I don't doubt Kooks are quality, I just have researched them much.

Yep i just purchased their Street Series Long Tubed Headers with X pipe. They have a Pro Series. Only difference is the size. 1 3/4" (Street) vs 1 7/8" (Pro).

We make a killer system for your car made of 100% US stainless steel our fit,finish and customer service are second to none. We have many options for our systems if you have any questions shoot me a PM this board is really busy I may not see this post again.

the sound of any exhaust is due nore to the catback than the headers the headers will make it louder but the catback gives it the tone
