Re: anyone know anything bout these headers?

The first pic is racing innovations, the second is hawks. Look at the 02 sensor locations and bends pretty much dead on. If they aren't his supplier they copied and undercut him real bad.

Re: anyone know anything bout these headers?

My understanding is that Hawk's cheaper header line is made overseas, and if there's anything that overseas manufacturers are famous for, it's selling their product to anybody who will buy it. Most likely this place is getting these headers from the same company that makes them for Hawks.

Re: anyone know anything bout these headers?
