Some are better than others but in most cases any header is better than no header on our cars.

The steel ones will rot out if not maintained. Usually you can tell what type they are by looking at them.

Sorry about that - I should have been more clear.

A lot of people on here could tell you what kind they are by looking at them because they've seen every type there is 9 million times.
