Top Speed Street Spec headers
Anyone know anything about these headers or are running them on there cars? They seem to be very reasonably priced but I have no idea about the quality or performance gains. Can someone help? Thanks

Never heard of em. I gotta say, they look like OBX headers.

These guys don't build headers. I'd guess that they bought 50 sets of OBX headers for some low price and marked them up to the high end of what OBX goes for. Deceptive practice to "brand" them as their own ? Smells just like that to me.

Hit the "search this forum" button on the right hand side of the page and type in OBX headers. There's LOTS of threads on them. Some have pics of the welds, inlets, and collector. If you can get past all the "junk because they aren't made in America" posts, you'll find the quality answers you're looking for.

It's remarks like that, that disappoint me. Aren't you tired of seeing "Made in China" on everything?? I just don't get it. People go out and spend 40k on their new camaro, why not put "quality" U.S made componets to compliment a car made by an American car manufacturer? Sure, go out and buy that overseas product, but a year or two down the road when that part cracks, fails, breaks, or RUSTS you'll be back on the market again. This time though, you're going to buy that "quality" product that's going to last. Why buy twice? I'm not here to promote our product because the OP asked about something different, I'm just here to promote American Made products produced by small businesses in the United States.

I don't believe I said anything in regards to where American cars were made. If you read my post in it's entirety it was to promote Small Businesses in the U.S. that go out of their way to produce a product here in America.

no its remarks like that as to why this country is in the shape its in... people spend their dollar on foreign made shit and then wonder why the U.S. economy is in the damn gutter... and to get technical, our cars were assembled in Canada using U.S. steel and by majority U.S. supplied parts... as I said in another topic, General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford are responsible for 1.2 million UNITED STATES supplier jobs... Toyota, Nissan, and Honda COMBINE for less than 250,000 UNITED STATES jobs... their headquarters are STILL in Japan so at the end of the day their profit is going TO JAPAN so go buy your foreign made shit, continue to drive this country in the direction its going, but quit blaming politicians, the ways of the American people are causing this shit... I said it when Bush was in office and I'll say it with Obama in office, it doesn't matter WHO we vote in, until Americans change their ways for the better(and it seems to be getting WORSE), this country is f***ed... apparently, people weren't raised like I was, with a great grandfather who died in WWII, a great uncle who died in Korea, and a cousin(my dad's age, so basically like his brother) who died in Vietnam... because as as kid, I was taught one thing when it came to the economy, if you're going to earn it here, spend it here... the problem this country has, is everyone is so hard pressed to save a dollar, they just keep digging the damn ditch deeper by spending dollars elsewhere... to ARH and other AMERICAN companies, keep doing your thing

UtG, I would like for you to point out to me someone whose new Camaro fell apart after a year or two, like you said yourself everything made overseas is built to the companies standard. GM (who doesn't build anything overseas, mainly Canada) can keep those standards and can afford to have the best people overlooking the entire build process. Now can a small company with say 20 or so employees hold those same standards and quality in a shop halfway around the world? Not only is that extremely hard, but its also very unlikely. |

I would love to have a set of ARH LT's on my car, but since I have dedicated my life to defending this country I don't make nearly enough money to support my family and still be able to afford them.
People buying foreign made headers is not the downfall of this country. ARH and Kooks are not having any problems selling headers for $400 more than they are worth and I doubt they feel the least bit bad about pocketing all that American cash. As for me, I'm getting PaceSetters. They are American made for less than $300, will put up comparable hp numbers, and will last as long as I need them too. Go ahead and quote me and flame me or whatever. I've got 15 deployments and 117 dead terrorists under my belt that says I'm more patriotic than you.
