Default Headman Street Headers - Differences $145/$340

Hiya just wonderd what the main difference was with these headers -

$145
$340

Would either work? I'm on a budget and shipping and tax on top doesn't help.

Anyone got any fitting experience? If so how did they go on?

The only difference I see is one has the AIR fittings and one doesn't. Both are painted and not coated. Spend a few more $ and get the Elites, they have thicker tubes and flanges and they are thermally coated.

I installed the Elites and the only issue I had was, I needed to move a wire bundle to the other side of fuel lines to keep it from contacting header. The ball and socket collector adapter is very nice. Allows for minor misalignment of Y pipe and requires no gaskets.

I bought the Elites and my ceramic coating is flaking off. Not a happy camper.
