Cheap headers...
I'm late to the party on this discussion regarding cheap headers. If you are ok with the poor ground clearance on the drivers side then the Patriot headers are a good value. I bought mine bare and used VHT header paint. I was not expecting the paint to hold up but I am very impressed so far and it's been 4 years. The guy I bought them from owns a small local speed shop and he told me to clean the storage oil off and preheat them prior to paint. It sure worked.
Of course I ain't one of them there fancy fellers looking for bling under the hood!
