Default American Racing Headers gets an A+....
I just wanted to say that every time I have dealt with ARH they have done everything they can to take care of me. I needed some hardware from them and with no questions asked I had them in a couple of days. I have been very happy with their exhaust system too!

I was impressed with the quality and ease of installation of my ARH long tubes with high flow cats. And they look great!

Does anyone have a pic of the AR spike/merge collector? They tout this but no pic is available to see on their web site.

Thanks. Are those tubes in the picture actually complete 360 degree circles and the pic is hiding the complete circle? This is a Kooks 1 3/4" LT pic.

That is the merge collector hiding part of the primary tubes, the kooks picture above is just a straight collector.

Thanks!...Actually the Kooks does have a merge collector, it is just not as pinched as the AR merge collector....which causes the tubes to look not circular in the AR pic.

Here is a view where you can see what Nick is referring to. The merge collector at the O2 bung blocks the view of the primaries near the spike.

Thanks....I also see the diff between the straight and merge type: The Kooks actually has a merge collector, albeit with no "pinch".
