anyone with aftermarket headers.!!!!

This is just to inform u of what to look for when u recieve aftermarket headers. It doesnt matter weather u spent $900 or $50, quality all depends on who is builing it and people and even machines make mistakes. I just bought bbk longtubes, and when I got them I noticed that the welds were the primaires met the flange were kinda bulked on and sticking out which will effect flow dramaticly. also i noticed that there was a gap between the weld and primary (not connected) meaning leak big time. No problem for me, I work at an F1 shop so I grinded out the weld and TIG welded the gap. now maybe I just got a bad batch but things happen. So before u get all excited about installing any part, really give them the once over and look at welds really carfuly.
