They build racing headers, have for years.
But I didn't know they made headers for street cars.

They were made for 00 C5 project car that decided to go turbo and they were never used.They are 1 5/8 with 3" collectors and are ceramic coated.The owner paid over $900 for them and is looking for $500.Now that no one really heard of them I am a little afraid to buy them.What would you suggest for a header to give me max rwh?

Personally, I'd rather spend $900+ for proven headers than take a $500 gamble on those in question.

I would stay with either LGs or Kooks. There has been enough said on this forum regarding the merits of both these systems.
