its more like 300-400 more... now that i look into it.. but i know people have good deals on them..

ok i know of somebody here that can sell kook with high flow cats and free shipping for around 1,149... now lets say you buy BFH for 530 and you get high flow cats for like 400 you are spending 930

compared to 1,149 for kooks that not much of a differences.. i would much rather go with kooks IMO

The $499-$650 (depends on which vendor you contact) BFE mid section includes cats, x-pipe, and even a little beyond.

If I buy these I'll have our inspector at work shoot them with the PMI analyzer and tell me how good the metal is.

I think if you contact us, we can get pretty much any of the brands in an affordable range. Quality or not, these are not signifigantly cheaper.

I think its great when someone asks about a product such as Headers, and a vendor has the decency to let the forum know what or what not they may be getting. Thats what this forum is all about. Anything I could add to my Camaro thats made in the USA is one less part on the car from Canada or who knows where... Buy American the job you save may be your own!

and BTW nick from ARH is just speaking his thoughts about the product, and if nick from ARH has speculation about the product and ARH is a very respectable in the headers business then i would for sure take his advice..
I think I'm actually dumber from reading this quote! So because an owner "nick" from ARH has an opinion about another competitors product that he has never purchased, tested or inspected you believe he is telling the truth.. LMAO... OMG... Simply the dumbest thing I have ever read. STUPID!!!! Get a clue... If other companies are bashing/bad mouthing the competition then they are either: worried about losing market share or worried about losing market share. What ARH should do is stop talking a bunch of trash, spreading BS rummors and speculation and focus. I guess ARH thinks this rumor spreading BS is helping them. Well, its not!

I already did buy and install my BFE headers. You believe what you want to believe. I could care less. However, "the best" is not who charges the most, advertises the most, spreads the most BS or rumors or who has been in business the longest! Your simply brain washed into thinking it or you are getting paid by them to back up their rumors and that is the funniest part of this thread! So keep chewing on the BS and see how far it gets you. As far as who can or can not afford a set of ARH or KOOKS: I could buy 100 sets of headers and give them away as Christmas gifts and not even notice the money is missing from my account! Money had nothing to do with my choice! Stop assuming that everyone who buys an item for a lower price is unable to afford it! Stupid!

i understand what you are saying trust me i do. i get you can afford the kook or ARH headers, but maybe just wanted to save money or something. but when i got kooks headers i am buying more then just the headers. i am buying the good customer service if something goes wrong. i just feel better with the well know brands.. when i buy kook or ARH i have more confidence in the product, because of soooo many good reviews, and i am willing to pay more to have a product 100% confidence in.

big flow headers? been on the forums for a year, on everyday and this thread is the first time i have every heard on them. i am not saying they are bad, i am saying i would never get them, until they have a better/ more well know brand.. i have not heard of anyone well know forums sponsors that have tested them...

see where i am coming from now
