well at 1299 that a bit of a risk. i don't have any expiernce with them. eventually I'm sure the welds will crack just because its ****ty thin wall stainless, and you might have to get your hammer out to make them fit. but at only 1299 for headers and a full exhaust who cares? maybe the wrong attitude but just my 2 cents.

Not a huge fan of those collectors. I'm sure there will be all kinds of leaks there. But for the price, that's bang up for LTs on these cars. Someone be the guinea pig!

The company is located in Addison Texas. Maybe me or another member could go check them out in person.

65 Chevelle Wagon w/ C5 frame, 08 ML63, 04 S600, 04 E55,(sold) 00 ML55,(sold) 98 C43-55K Swap
I had ebay headers on my C43 and they were horrible. Nothing but issues. They were a log type with a 1 piece head flange. Lots of issues with cracking and warped flanges. The outer cylinder ports were as much as 3/16" away from the head. I think a lot of issues were due to thermal expansion and cheap materials.

These being individual tubes, they may not have these issues. Quality is still going to be low. I'm sure the cats are junk. The metal is going to be thin and low quality stainless. Not sure if the value to horsepower ratio is in favor for these over the kleeman's. I hope I'm wrong. If they were under $800 I'd give them a try.

See if he'll do a group buy. I contacted him about a catless version and seemed overly eager to sell them. Not selling as many sets as he thought?

slip on primary tube headers are notorious for leaking and they are held together by springs.

Kleemanns at $1k are proven headers for these cars, I would stick to them.

+1
Headers are a PITA. I think Kleemanns are the way to go.

I doubt kleemans are much better, as far as metal and weld quality. The only reason kleemans might look better is because of that cheap coating they put on them. Other wise kleemans look just like any other ****ty Chinese product IMO

So here's a set of their log style headers...sorry they're for a C32..too lazy to search for the w211's. Do these welds look weak/prone to cracking?

It should be fine. It's like EC/LET copy. Mine was LET, costed lot more $$$ at the time and it cracked anyways . $330 is not too much to try if you know how to wrench.
