If you wanna pay $1200 for headers & pull the old "quality" or "made in America" card, go ahead...my point exactly...options!!!!
The first set of headers I ever bought were $500 & I thought that was a lot, considering I remembered my uncle paying $250. Again, thankful for the products available, but just can't justify the cost!!! Kinda ricey spending that kinda money for a few hp & sound. Just my opinion???
Putting cheap Chinese parts on your car is ricey...

Exactly

To the others who seem to be getting their feelings hurt, don't take disagreement so personally. A little healthy debate never hurt anyone.

ARH headers are welded in the US with American steel. Don't know about the other brands.

No but you certainly implied it...It's my understanding that we aren't to discuss politics, but lemme say this. I was a truck driver for 15 years. Fact is, a lot of the freight being hauled into these states that border Mexico & Canada is then going across the border to be assembled, sewn, packaged, etc. & then brought back into the US. From Levis, Nike, electronics, etc. Educate yourself!!!!

Op congrads on your purchase! !!

I also have a k&n on my ride. Reason I bought k&n over the rest is Because of price.

When buying cai its more about sound than hp anyway.

No matter what cai you get I promise the top choice is not going to put 3 hp over the k&n.

I think modding is like ladies wearing the same outfit to a party
Most don't want to have the exact same thing

People want something different because they want to be different
They don't want together same
Nothing wrong with that

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
