Re: What headers are these??

They flow OK, and flow much better than a stock manifold. Flow isn't the problem with them. The problem, is that they use REALLY thin steel for the tubes and the head flange - so the head flanges warp easily and never seal up well again. Thin tubes can also crack fairly easy, but its a less common problem. The thin flange is the main problem.
