The first time I pulled mine out of the box, I was pretty amazed.

I can TIG weld, but nothing like this in my wildest dreams. If this is by hand and not machine - holy crap.

I'm pretty sure they weld by hand. Its out of this world as far as quality

Phadt definitely has some great welds, but I bought headers to make more power and all the tests and dyno charts have shown ARH making more power so i went with the ones that make more power. If going for looks than the Pfadt headers might win that competition, but to each his own. When the headers are on you can't see them anyway really.

I'm sure they aren't bad at all and u can't go wrong doing any headers with this car, I always go with the cream of the crop when buying mods.

Any sound clips of Gary's car? Also, is his car a NPP car or stock exhaust?
