there are better brands of headers imho, but if you want long tubes for your truck you don't have a choice in brand.

they make tons of generic headers. It's nothing really special. They will still net decent HP over stock, and the longtubes will flow nicely.

I suggest you get them, best for the price imo. Either pay for the coated ones, or plan on coating them yourself.

+1 for the coating. The ceramic coated ones are far less likely to rust on you, change color, etc.

That is true, but tell that to my ceramic shorty's lol. They haven't changed color, but they definitely had quite a bit of rust after the first year.

I said less likely, didn't say they never rusted.
