Thanks a bunch! I mean this with all honesty... Its a good feeling to get a compliment from a customer. It really means alot to me. Its been rumored you installed these header faster than I can/did, And I've installed a bunch.

Lol. I used to watch American Choppers and I remember how much time those guys spent grinding down welds. They also charged $50K for some of their bikes.

Thanks everyone for their input, this really helped me understand the different options.

So, anyone got any for sale?

All my friends who saw those headers said that those headers look very good, and we were shocked to see how small are the stock once! and yep, installation went very smooth! Hoole, thank you for your help with everything and quick shipping to my house, that I had it on time when I needed.

Not many smaller shops mandrel-bend pipe in-house specific to the header application they're building - instead using stock, off-the-shelf pipes and bends to piece together their end product.

To be fair, EC and MBH are the same in this regard... BUT, at least from photos I've seen, MBH's products seem to have much higher overall craftsmanship relative to EC. Fitment, welds, finishing, everything.

Some people want what they perceive to be acceptable quality at the lowest possible cost, others want quality first and are willing to pay a premium for it... different strokes for different folks; no right or wrong necessarily.

Well, I think there are good opportunities to be frugal (for example, I don't buy PS2's - not because I think they're not excellent tires, but because I find Nitto/Bridgestone/Dunlop to be of acceptable quality/performance and better values) - but I get what you're saying overall, and agree with you. If you skimp on quality, it can easily cost much more in the long run with replacement(s) and/or repairs.

just get kleemanns bro,you make massive low end and decent top end.I made 598rwt with a 178mm pulley.

They are about 1400 and you get to send your ecu to them and have them tune the cats out the right way with no issues at all.

If you can find a set, go with VRP. They are in-expensive and my car started running alot quicker times, even without a tune.

Haters crazy
Kleemanns for $1500 sounds tempting, directly from Kleemann? Gains with 3" exhaust, no pri or secs.
