Default AFE or ARH headers
Any thoughts on which is the better product to go with?

My guess is most people will say ARH based on brand name and higher claimed gains. My personal plan is to go with AFE's Titanium Cerakote headers. I've always been a fan of AFE's quality, but at the same time ARH (which I have zero personal experience with) looks to have top-notch fitment & quality as well. Sorry, realize this likely doesn't help you out at all

ARH is a very good header company, great fitment and results.

We should have some coming in June if you'd want to pre-order a set (no California residents)

Love the color of the ceramic coating on both headers. In my opinion, ceramic coating is a must as it really cuts the amount of heat.
