Nice headers for price
Nice fit for my application bought hooker long tubes and they wouldn’t fit, in a fast hurry and was ready to fire up my build I purchased these and well I actually like them. Colored up nice gold with some blue and purple. For the price it was a good buy!
User

Very happy with it
Exactly the same dimensions as my hooker block huggers. I will definitely buy again

They fit nicely.
Nice looking headers.

High value for the money.
Very high-quality superior to headers costing four or five times as much.

Pain in the but and they block a sensor when putting them on

Really disappointed in the quality
Cheapest pair of headers I've ever seen. Full of flaws, defects, gouges, bad welds, dents, and overall poor quality. Gaskets are just as bad. Dented, bent, and already showing signs of deteriorating. Not functional with warped flanges and defective build.
User
Fit real well like them
Got them on haven't used them yet doing a mock-up on putting it in the tractor 350 and a massive Ferguson 44 so I got to do a lot of mock up but they work real well

Waste of money
Didn’t fit. Warped flange. Headers were hitting my starter and super close to my oil pan
User
Poor quality
Not impressed at all. The collectors holes did not align with the holes on the headers. I had to file them to an oval shape in order to get the bolts through. Bolts that I had to purchase cause the ones supplied were to big. Two days of driving the nice finish is gone and they look old. Not happy. 🤨
