$2600+ for ARH....so $424 was a no brainer
Crazy pricing for a set of headers ,, IMO all of them ! The power gain is minimal also .And don't even look at the cost of Billy Boat Long Tube headers. I was going to get the whole system, but it's pricey:

The price is cheap on a comparison and obvious would be hard to beat unless you made your own .$2600+ for ARH....so $424 was a no brainer
In the pics it still looks a bit on the rough finished side .They were done by them already
Those tags are always a problem , I hear a dab of JB weld will fix that problemI am blown away. These are nice, the welds look good inside and out. The flanges look to be nice and flat. Wonder how they will bolt up.... The only problem that I see is their tag was barely welded on and it pulled off lol

12-16hp is a steal for $424 in the hp world.Crazy pricing for a set of headers ,, IMO all of them ! The power gain is minimal also .
I feel like you would spend the same on parts if not more, not counting your labor and time collecting the parts.The price is cheap on a comparison and obvious would be hard to beat unless you made your own .
I checked them over. I am content that nothing will restrict flow, the last thing I want to do is start getting greedy and open up welds.In the pics it still looks a bit on the rough finished side .
I am not worried about the tag, I was just posting the fact that the tag fell off. It is going in the recycle bin.Those tags are always a problem , I hear a dab of JB weld will fix that problem
Yes these days the cost of gaining a few HP is crazy . The deal in todays world you got is very good if everything works out as excepted .. at 424$ I don’t think you can go wrong on a comparison basis to other 2000$ plus systems . Actually makes me want to get these . But I’m waiting for the results on your install and hope the deal is still available so I will decide at some point .12-16hp is a steal for $424 in the hp world.
No No No ,,, DO NOT REMOVE OR THROW AWAY THE TAG ! I read it is a federal law and you can be prosecuted for doing so . At least according to the tags on my mattresses hahahaha .I am not worried about the tag, I was just posting the fact that the tag fell off. It is going in the recycle bin.
I agree with the getting greedy part and causing a leak … my concern would be maximizing the exhaust flow with out turbulence or slight restrictions .. since I can’t actually see them personally and only seeing them in the pics I can make any real determination as to the flow of the exhaust out … the affects may be minimal and is just my observationI am not worried about the tag, I was just posting the fact that the tag fell off. It is going in the recycle bin.
Yes ,, patiently waiting , Now hurry up and get them done hahahaNow we wait for the reports after they are installed and used for awhile!
Are those actual Cats or empty look a-likes .. doesn’t matter to me since we don’t have those BS emissions laws where I live .I'd be concerned mostly with the cost. If Walmart made a regular 30% (wholesale-to-retail profit margain), that leaves the Manufacturer just under 300 bucks for some R&D, materials, manufacture and shipping. If they also come with Cats (looks like it in the pics), that 300 bucks would barely cover the cost of the Platinum required to make them work.
The Headers LOOK fine, but so did the 2-pack of Chinese scissors I bought for 8 bucks.
They weren't fine.
I went the full B&B route and they've been hanging under the truck for 17(?) years.
I believe you get what you pay for, but I've been wrong before.
As far as the value of headers go on these trucks and the performance they offer, I'm not a fan. The Cat-Back system was a worthwhile gain though, and I did that before Headers so I did both seat-of-the-pants and dyno evaluations.
I'm not picking on the Chinese here. They are more than capable of making excellent products. If asked to make something ultra cheap, it will be ultra cheap. Costs will be cut here and there.
Good luck.
Rub it in why don't yaAre those actual Cats or empty look a-likes .. doesn’t matter to me since we don’t have those BS emissions laws where I live .
All you have to do is get rid of the Libbies hahahaRub it in why don't ya
