Seems like headers are just ~2" diameter stainless steel tubes welded to a 3" diameter tube on one side and an adapter flange on the other. Then there are some threads tapped for placement of the O2 sensors.

Why they cost $2000 is beyond me... but the HP gain you get from the $2000 may be worth it if you have $2000 sitting around.

I hope the competition eventually heats up and the price gets driven down..... Because I will not pay $2000 for stainess steel tubing.

ARH is by far the best header on the market for any car. PM or call me if you want pricing. I will beat or match any price you get.

I have to agree with Bell that $2000 for tubing is ridiculous. Anything over 1k is ridiculous. Just because the car is new is no reason for price gouging and boy are these companies sticking it to us.

I have kind of a crazy question here, do all of the headers alone have the same sound until you add an exhaust system to them, I am looking for the loudest for my Camaro
