[QUOTE="CPRsm, post: 9540203, member: 81705"] BIG johson, I get that. Not too many street cars need 2in primaries. This is for my own car. But well build headers don't have any of a chance of cracking than cast manifolds. I have been making them now for over 5 years and never had anyone call me, or seen anything about cracking. Having tubing being able to move independant from one another is better than lumping them all together. Cast works because it's thick as hell. I beat the SHIT of of my personal kit. Wheels coming up then down while holding a 22 lb turbo just to see what would happen. Nothing. I think fear of tubular headers is spread by guys that have kits that don't offer them.I'm not even saying that just because you buy american you are guarunteed a better part. I just know what this is. Header design can be perfect, but if you over heat the weld, under cut it or just don't know what your doing, you can still f it up. But I plan on running test on a test mule I just bought to prove it. Find out which kits are quality. This just ain't one of them. May be "good enough", but there is certainly a difference. Even at 3k I would have lost my ass on those headers. Not many people would pay that, and that's one reason I don't like custom. No one will ever know or understand how long it takes to just sit there and stare with a few pieces of tubing just to get an idea of where you think it may fit. But all my stuff is done to the best of my abilities, or it doesn't go out. I won't make compromises like others to make a buck, or make it easier for someone else to afford, or cut corners for an easy install. My name to me is worth more than making a buck.
