Has anyone bought headers from dragracecarparts.com? They have the hedman header (part number 68096) for $529.97 and hedman website list them for $769.09. That's a big difference. Same header. Same dimensions. Same coating. Etc.... AND free shipping. Thoughts?

Sounds fishy. summit is $599.95 and i think jegs is also. as of yesterday summit had them in stock. many of these manufacturers have minimum selling prices on their product, that is why most places have the same price on everything. when someone is $70.00 less than jegs or summit on a $600.00 item something seems amiss. do they include shipping? either way if they are what you want and they do have them for that price then you may want to give it a try.

www.dragracecarparts.com - the domain is managed by DomainsByProxy.com, so that the true owner is hidden. They boast "Your identity is nobody's business but ours."

I'd be suspicious of any web site that doesn't have real contact info or a real street address. And they take offers on parts! Guess the question is how much can you afford to lose?

You may want to check out an unsung hero I happen to favor - Sanderson. Many of us in my little corner of the world use them. Yes, I am the newbie who has no C3 yet, but will, and when I do one of the first orders of business will be new exhaust from stem to stern. It will start with Anderson block huggers. You may want to check out their website. No gaskets are needed and they don't come loose. Their block huggers give up little in performance over the long tubes, unless you are looking for hundredths at the dragstrip. Just my .02 FWIW.

yes. I am considering those. I want the long tube Hedmans but so many have said they had to dent them to make them fit. So I’m not sure.
