As eveyone stated you pay for what you get!!!
GO cheap get cheap results....Most of the problem with cheap headers are not that they don't do there job. It's that cheap ones have very little quality control in the manufacturing process. So, what does this mean? They may not bolt up correctly because the header flanges were warped during the welding process they are made of thin gauge steel and will rust or burn more quickly drastically shortening there life. The last and most pain full reason not to go cheap is they will hit something in your engine compartment ie the frame rail A/C hoses etc.....heat and rubber or painted surfaces do not go hand and hand....All this info is from tried and true EXPERIANCE!!!! I have moded the hell out of tons of cars from imports to classic muscle...When a customer went cheap he/she got cheap results...

I bought in on the $230 headers. I'll let you know how they turn out. Quality looks top notch from what I have seen

Default PIT Headers

We are running a group buy on these right now and the saying is not only true. PIT can keep their price low due to the fact that they buy hunders of headers at a time. If a company that has be in business as long as Jeg's sells it than it must be ok. They wouldn't sell it their customers where call about bad products. Take a look at the group buy and see what you think. Plus the will give you a 100% money back refund if your not happy. Oh and they are 100% Stainless Tig welded.
