These arrived yesterday and I was underwhelmed. I think I'm going to go ahead and install them...but I was not real happy with the "quality". I know it's a lowball header, but I was surprised at the really poor welds and what looks like flanges that are ground on a bias. I'll post some pictures along with the installation, but out of the box I was not rocked.

Based on what I saw, I wish I had spent the extra $30-$75 on the painted Headman or Hooker Competition headers and that would be my recommendation - and of course the good thing as well is if you upgrade to coated headers they (should) bolt right up.
