summit headers

I really wanted to go with slp headers because, well they seem to be at the top of the list. but i was just browsing summit looking to waste some money and saw there headers areonly 80 bucks..what gives? are they any good? if so it sure beats paying 500

a) do they make a ypipe?

b) what size are the primaries and collectors?

any size less then 1 5/8" isn't worth it too me.

things to consider. spend the money once. get the right part.

Only 1" 1/2 on primaries, collectors are 2" 1/2. Nah, I believe heddman carries some 1" 5/8 for around the same price, btw the Y Pipe for the summit headers are $88, says cat compatible.

These are the same headers as Flowtech's. They come from the same place and they are junk. I hate mine. The welds are fine and the flange thickness is ok and the size it ok for my application but everything else is junk. The collectors are warped and leak. The head flange was bent when I got them so I had to torque the hell out of them to get them to seal. Thank *** they make Percy's dead soft header flange gaskets that are 1/4" thick. You do get what you pay for. Save up a few hundred and do headers right the first time. It will save you from screaming and paying additional money to make these work.
