What are you going to be using them on?

Are you concerned with fit? Performance?

"Thay" are a decent economy header. Just know that "thay" aren't going to last forever and you're good to go.

Like Steve said, not a bad header, use a good gasket set.

headers

I have used Headmans on my 65 Vette for the36 years i have owned it, now on my 3rd set. Just bought Headman Elite ceramic coated for it...... just because.
The set i took off is old but no holes still good headers. There just plain ones and lasted very well. But i did alot of work on it this summer, rebuilt the front suspension, put vingage air in it and steeroids rack, so while i was at it i put new Headman Elites on too, looks great. No complaints about Headman here.

i had blackjack headers, which i believe are part of hedman, on my car and they took a hell of a beating. i think i only had one exhaust leak in four years. the car sat so low that the speed bumps would contact the headers all the time and they survived. some of the tubes were not round anymore, but they survived.
the only problem i had with them was the way the pass side was made for the 350 olds, i could only find one oil filter from stp (so24 i think) that would fit through the tubes.
