Back in the day you could get lightenings for about 1,100.00 a set for black. (1993). How times have changed. I certainly wouldn't want to be the first to try them out on new builds however wouldn't hesitate to throw on something that's not worthy. To bad they don't have a referral or customer database. Would like to dissect one.

I talked to them over 2 years ago but never brought this up until now - they were (XS Power) to send me a free set of Marine water jacketed headers to test, I was going to test them, CMI, GIL/ Merc and stock Merc on a 454 HO mag carb set up as I had a days worth to use on a dyno from a friend of mine. XS Power never sent them nor followed up with any info after our phone conversations plus they knew I was going to do a write up about the test and their headers. So for whatever that is worth as a no show might add to their storyline.
its like everything you get what you pay for when the word quality is involved. I can not see how they make much profit selling to a dealer to sell for 1250 to 1400 bucks and that dealers needs to make a profit as well. Something has to be cheapen up here.
