I just noticed these, anyone ever see these? Or even own a set? Price is steeeep, but ARH do make quality. Another option for 3rd gens, so that's at least a very positive thing to these.

Nope.

I do like the look of the ball socket at the header, the x-pipe in place of the converter, and the good looking merge after the x.

Re: ARH Header, never saw these before...

I like the fact that the system looks ripe for a real dual exhaust following it all the way back. Run a Dual In/Out muffler or separate chambered mufflers and you can have an incredible sounding exhaust without losing much ground clearance.

It is a pretty coin for the exhaust though. However, I'd definitely consider it.

$1,900 is more than most of the trailers, thirdgens are parked out in front of, are worth. Seriously, I don't think they understand their target market. I'd bet if you took 20 thirdgen owners, and gave them the all the options, more would choose to run open headers than spend $2k on half an exhaust system.

If I bought those headers for my project car, it would quintuple the car's value.

I agree. Very steep price. Almost double what I paid for my Iroc. The way I'm looking at it is now that someone has done it, the idea is out there and someone else will be following behind them making a more affordable option. At least that's how I've seen pretty much everything else in the automotive industry go, so we can only hope it happens.

Re: ARH Header, never saw these before...

Very nice product but about 8-900ish out of the ballpark for most cars.

Re: ARH Header, never saw these before...

Resurrection thread- lol. Anyone install a set of these. Even at the price point, these are appealing but I am curious if someone has installed them, what options rear of these. Not sure if dual cats can fit and not sure choking it down with a dual inlet/dual outlet cat (Magnaflow is 2” ins/2.5” outs). I am thinking about a 4th Gen Flowmaster American Thunder catback. I like the stock look but like it to be larger. It’s seems I would be making a Franken Exhaust.

Re: ARH Header, never saw these before...

Is there anyone that has these? the x and y arent being sold with them and pretty sure they had a very small production with them but I see that similar pieces can be bought separately from summit
