Has anyone done a comparison of all Long Tube headers ?

Not only comparing differences in performance but also fitment and build quality ?

Just wondering as we have a good selection between ARH/Kooks, MBH, Weistec, Dynocomp...

I have ZERO complaints about my MBH headers and when we installed them they were a EASY bolt on. Everything lined up and they look like they came from the factory

Thank you for your input. I love the look of those headers but they are pricey.

You're not going to find direct performance comparisons between the long tubes for these cars.

There are essentially only 2 choices left...ARH and MBH (also OBX - chinese ARH copies). Kooks and Weistec don't make them for the 113K and DynoComp is MBH.

There are numerous differences between the ARH and MBH headers. Search my username for a detailed comparison in specs and construction.

+1. Correct.
MBH headers are made by DynoComp

Correct. BenzWorks does make headers. Quality is equal to MBH. Excellent shop all around for all your needs.

MBH is MBH. All the headers and downpipes are made by one of my best friends.

I personally never seen pictures of their systems. Was always curious to see them.

Nevermind, I stand corrected.
Only reason why I stated that was because when I spoke to DynoComp a couple years back, that's what I was told (by them directly).

Since then, that's all I kept thinking.
