So I had to google them...they look like garbage. Collector isn't even a collector...just 4 primaries that slam into a 3" pipe. It says T304 stainless...but its probably cheap thin wall tubing.OP, if you're looking for a good quality made in the USA LT header that's easy on the wallet....Check out JBA. You can find them in the mid $600's if you shop around...maybe less. If money is no concern, ARH.

All headers are made of thin wall tubing and most are 304 SS, so could you explain what "cheap thin wall tubing" means.

Without claiming pro or con, by the time you add the X-pipe the cost is $520 on sale or $700 at the regular price. The price is about right for the method of construction.

If you're looking for some lower priced headers than have been proven to fit and make power look at Texas Speed or Hinson Headers. They are both vendors here and you can get both headers/midpipe for around $700-800. As mentioned before JBA is also a great alternative to the higher priced headers.

Headers
I bought some similar headers off eBay from speed daddy paid $250 for the headers found the mid pipe for $134 and will need some fabrication to bolt up to the tail end pipe ..speed inc quoted me a price of $450 for the installation .. so under a grand for everything? From what I seen online it was hardly any difference between these headers and kooks except price.. so stay tuned we will see how it all plays out next week.

No. That wasn't what I asked. Just trying to understand what you meant by cheap thin wall tubing. Are you referring to a particular gauge or the quality of the material or were you simply voicing an opinion based on the finished product pricing?
