Any thoughts on using ARH V's SLP. It seems ARH are a little more expensive but are they better quality?

 

Tough call, I don't think many have them on their cars yet.

 

ARH makes nice headers, the SLP headers are nice and ceramic coated, can't go wrong with either one.

 

Thanks, dropped the hammer on ARH today. Went directly through Eric and he gave me dealer price of $1300 Should take a few weeks to get in. Once I get them on I'll post a sound bite with the ARH headers/high flow cats and the magnaflow catback. Should be a combination of a mellow/aggressive tone.

 

borla long tube headers are only 900. i have a set on order at summit coming in today. if anyone wants the order let me know and you can take them. im not going to need headers with the Boost application im going with

 

Regardless of brand/coatings, i would definetely make sure that whatever headers i buy are stainless, which most don't coat them afterwards. Mild steel with ceramic coating still has the chance to rust and turn ugly over time. Stick with stainless and you'll be happier.

 

arent most,if not all aftermarket headers made of stainless?

 

nope, most, if not all "Quality" headers are, but, most "commonly sold" are mild steel that are either painted or high temp coated, i.e. Hedman, Edelbrock, Hooker, JBA, Pacesetter, and the usual over the counter brands are mild steel. Just check Summit/Jegs, and the majority are mild steel, ecspecially since mild steel compared to stainless is approx. a 30% savings.

 

Another thing to keep in mind is that ARH actually uses only made in the USA parts. No Chinese or foreign components. I found that interesting. They're a good bunch of guys and take pride in their products.

Im pretty happy with the quality of the ARH I have the 1 7/8s headers with the 3 inch x pipe through spintech mufflers

 

man i wish i would have stuck with this plan....could have had twins!

 

Go with experienced header manufacturers. KooK's. And don't forget the hi flow cats.
