Go with LG's new headers or Dynatech Supermaxx. I went with Dynatech. Just my HO.

Try to find out who actually makes them. As far as I know, WCC is just a retailer, and doesn't actually make them. The preferred choices seem to be LG, Kooks, or Dynatech. I went with LGs

You can get stainless steel from (in order of personal preference) LGM, Dynatech, Kooks, Stainless Works for that much and even much less.

Since your willing to spend the bucks, go with LGM LT Headers. Great headers!

Melrose eh? That just makes me think of buying them out of the back of a 64 Impala sitting on gold rims in the not so nice part of south central Los Angelas.


I'd pick Stainless Steel any day of the week and twice on sunday over JetHot. I've got the LG Pro Street headers on my car and love them.
