These have come down in price. I paid 9 dollars more. Pretty decent for the money. I think they are just dynomax knock offs.

Really? That's surprizing considering the amount they charge (really cheap)...you'd think that you're buying crap.

I've had mine on for almost 2 years and they are just fine. I opted to wrap mine in header wrap to try and reduce engine bay/cabin heat.

I'm not usually cheap when it comes to parts for my vette, but I think I'm going to get my headers from summit when the time comes. I'm not spending hundreds on a set from hooker

Summit has nice stuff. Check out my "summit" (logo under fuel line) air gap, dual plane intake. It even came with the WEIAND paperwork.
I have been really happy with their stuff.

Actually I will take back my last statement. The Summit headers are 18ga and the Jegs brand are 16ga. That might be worth the extra $9.

My $89 Hedman from Summit are still going strong after 7 years.
