I have their older mild steel ceramic coated ones with 3 inch X pipe. Easy to install the headers. Passengers side dropped right in. drivers side required me to remove the coils, valve covers, alternator, and the steering linkage ( i cant remember the correct term is at the moment) the X pipe required me to make holes in the tunnel plate so the O2 sensors will clear. The new version is the same dimensions as the old only stainless steel. Id say a 6 overall to install, and since mine is mild steel a 5 on durability, fitment of the headers themselves an 8, total satisfaction. If I would have held out for the stainless id say a 8 overall, the mild steel about a 6.

I have one of the earlier original sets also. For being ceramic coated mild steel they do get rusty. But I haven't had any weld cracks or issues otherwise. I just pulled my set off for the last time ever as I'm doing a twin turbo swap. If your interested in a cheap used 1-3/4" set with 3" off-road x-pipe and dual 3" cutouts, pm me.

I got one of the newer sets that I put on this past weekend (stainless steel).
For what its worth, I'm still tinkering with it in my garage because the driver side header is touching the frame. The rest of it, quality wise, is fine. And I may be able to get that side to fit with some tweaking, I just gave up for the moment.
