"$315 for steel headers is a very fair price for the maker and buyer when it comes to headers of this great quality.No brand name company, well h e l l, no one period mass produces headers for our cars. It takes alittle more time to individually custom make each set. CHC himself complained that he made no money building his POS headers. If you want them thats a fair price, DON'T GIVE THE GUY A HARD TIME AND RUN HIM OFF BECAUSE YOU WANT THINGS FOR FREE. This is the first guy ever to offer a complete bolton set-up from header to y-pipe. "

Umm unless I read the post wrong, he is not offering the "Y" pipe for that price! So thats another what $100 easy with this guy!
YEAH GREAT DEAL if you ask me.

And contrary to YOUR beleif, I am not bashing this guy. Not by any means. I am pointing out the truth of the matter, and that is for less then that price I can have a similar set made at a local shop, that WOULD be single tube, mandrel bent, and STAINLESS with 1/4 flanges.
If you think that standard steel headers are worth over $315(which undoubtedly does not include S&H) then you either have no freinds that can do this, or simply way too much money to waste.

Oh wait, were'nt you the one that spent $100 or so on an ALDL interface, that can be built for a 10th of that? yeah I think you were

I'm sorry but if you think that you need to leave the connector hooked up all the time, you are sadly mistaken. Do you think I am going to leave my "hacked up job" of a connector in the car all the time? PLEASE, it's there to DATA log every couple days to record the data, and when a new chip goes in it happens all over again.

you have lost your mind huh???

we know no one will buy a set for that much, the post isnt even sticky worthly but what ever.

for 300 bucks Id make my own.


Looking under my car, i have a custome y pipe, its no where near stock and still looking fresh and knew. The car did come with new exhaust and brake when i got it in 99

with e cat removed and my other mods, it explaines my unusual quickness.

But alias, I think my right side donut is leaking, being cold I can hear it when the car starts, what a pita they are to change.

Personally I am getting tired of this whole header issue. Why don't you guys get some flow test and dynos ran with your specific headers on and then post the results we have the pictures to compare but without numbers those pictures mean nothing to me personally. I am not taking sides but before I put any money out I want all of the information. Again I applaud you guys that are taking your time and money to make products for our cars.
