It's made by children in a third world sweatshop and they don't have the overhead costs from following OSHA standards?

Any updates with how the header is holding up?

My motto is- if touches the block or the head, it has to be good quality. I don't mind cheaping out on the cat back system but a header... no. If a header goes bad, it can damage your engine. If the cat back system has an issue, it can't damage the engine. It's that simple.

just pulling your leg - as others as pointed out, that thing would be a boatload of headaches. just think about the temp cycles it goes through on a hard run. and just looking at it, you'd be much better off just punching out the cat in your stock header. or spending a few hundred more and getting a quality used header off the forums here that will fit, not leak or crack, sound good, and give you a real bump in power.

If by children you mean machines then yes! Your assessment is correct.

just save your $300 dollars and wait a few months for a quality header. Looking at these photos of cheap headers scare me already lol. Cruising down the highway and then all I hear is hissing and rattling. no thanks. Lets put these cheap headers out of business.
