Summit headers

Does anyone have any experience with Summit's house brand headers? Budget constraints are gonna keep me under $500, so exploring all my options.

Hooker is probably gonna be my choice. I've seen people's comments on several brands but never the Summit headers. I've used Hookers on all my previous builds.

Flowtech are POS, but you get what you paid for. Summit and Hedman headers have issues with fitment on the BBO too, Doug's don't fit the BBO, issues with design.

Hooker are best bang for the buck and they fit good for both SBO and BBO.

There is also ARH but $$$$.

Sell off sh*t you do not need & raise the cash to buy ARH. Do it once & do it right.

X2. Couldn't agree more. ARH is $$$$ but they fit the best.

Mine are finally arriving Wednesday. Can't wait to have the Cutlass back on the road.
