also you can buy a secound hand USED branded headers for $2000 if you want. i personaly decided to try the XS headers for $1470 shipped there was NO comparison in price.

Since these clowns still haven't called back, maybe you can answer my question since you bought a set. How wide are they?

I learned a lot about headers during my build. When you buy production made headers that's exactly what you get. on fountains side by side application the tubes have an 1/8 inch between the motors them making it near impossible to change spark plugs, and to take the valve cover off which means you then have to pull the header. Just a headache all around. However when you purchase headers from those whom are the best in the business things turn out to be the best. when I put my big tube dry Stellings on after Randy worked his magic for my application things couldn't have turned out better. Just a real work of art. 4 inches between the pipes with plenty of room to pull the valve covers off. As previously mentioned, if you cant get your hands on a good set of headers from those who have been in the business for quite some time I would purchase a quality performance manifold and stay clear of the headaches that come hand in hand with "off the shelf" headers.

Thats unreal....., especially with stainless.... The first time I tiged stainless I was in awe at how nicely it welds compared to crap mild steel dom. That looks like a stoned kid in high school metal shop did it.
