Are 1320 UEL headers a good brand?
Saw an ad for some 1320 uel headers for sale. I'm seriously considering buying them. I've never heard of that brand tho. Anyone know if they're any good?

Keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for. Is the header good for its price? Sure. However longevity is another matter. The welds might crack later on down the line and you might need to get it fixed. Factor in that pricing and it probably would have been cheaper to spend a little more on a "better" header. However, I'm the end the 1320 is pretty decent considering the price it's selling for

i don't know anything firsthand about them... but what I do see is sometimes people selling the 1320 header used, with very low miles... saying that they went to a different header. That seems telling to me... why would you buy one header, and very soon after decide to go with another... I wouldn't go for a cheap header, I'd look at well-known brands with a good reputation if I wanted a part that will last and has good fitment. (Cheap products in general seem to either not last, or have very poor fitment)
