What headers work, and what don't?

I'd bet that the tooling used to build the least expensive headers is actually the best out there. TTi is not using anything more exotic then the other guys. What makes the ttis more expensive is where and who is building them. I could also see them being that expensive if they were going through the CARB certification of late model applications, but they are not. What they are doing is making lots of profits, there is nothing wrong at all with that, but don't pretend that they are not. Me, I'll have my slaves over in China whip me out another set when I need them.

Which will be every couple of years depending on how often you drive it,those cheap crapola headers hit everything on the road that's
higher the 1"..TTI'S hit nothing!!! and can be installed in an hour or less,and the starter slips right in and out and they're made here in AMERICA!!! which is another reason for me to buy them...bottomline if you can afford TTI'S buy them,they'll be the LAST header you ever buy..
