Overall Assessment

Customers find the product to be cost-effective, saving them $70 when used to build headers for their Ford vehicles. The tubes' thicker-than-average walls are a highlight feature, providing robustness even while being easy to weld with a low-value mig. The headers' aesthetic appeal is commendable with some users enjoying the challenge of assembly over a considerable period. However, this product may not be suited for those seeking quick installation. The thickness of the metal also came under criticism, with some users recommending a thicker gauge for seamless welding. Nevertheless, patrons particularly commend their smooth bends and stunning finish, which they credit to the thin gauge. The product adds noticeable sound and visual appeal to vehicles, especially during acceleration and deceleration. Novice users might need to consider the acquisition of spare parts to prevent warpage during the final welding. Overall, customer satisfaction is high, with many recommending the product to others despite minor flaws.

Tubes are thicker than most prevent stuff you can buy, but still easy to blow through with a mig turned down pretty low. Lots of time and effort. If you don't want to spend a whole lot of time on these, this is not for you. Took me a while weekend, all day everyday to get them finished. But I enjoy the challenge and it looks good. I used the cap for the flange and made a second flange out of it. Went to the local speed shop and bought one 3 1/2" 90* tube and made my own turnouts. These are LOUD consider that and loss of back pressure, may want to get a baffle. I put these on my 27 roadster drag car. Running a mild 468 and it blows a cone of blue flame out at open throttle and on decel pops and spits fireballs. Big eye (and ear) catchers. Very satisfied. I would recommend finding a spare head to mock these up on for final welding to avoid warping the flange. Its 3/8" thick but that won't save you. I added a pic of it mocked up and tacked and after picture was taken of it after painting. NOTE: The small round 3/4"tube between rear runner and flange DID NOT come with kit. Its my crankcase evac I put in.

The gauge of metal being used needs to be a little bick thicker, for us that uses a standard wire feed welder, it punches through on the #2 setting, and even on #1 setting. It's just too thin. They are good looking though, good bends, and of course the thin gauge hepls to make those bends so smooth.
