Yeah, I noticed those headers. It's funny how some clearly inferior designs can survive for years. Are Hedman headers ("hedders") that much cheaper? Seems that smashing them on a speedbump and doing the job twice would offset any possible savings on the initial price.
No, but their derivatives are. Summit brand, Flowtek and all the other cheaper brands. They're all bent the same. And yes, Summit brand is like 150 bucks.
Yall have to remember, one, not everybody can afford TTI or Dougs and two, there was a time when those type bent headers were ALL we had. They worked great before people started lowering the crap out of their cars.
