The price must be too good to be true, $229 + shipping for stainless steel mid-lengths. I've been shopping for headers and found these online:

Has anyone heard of this company before? A quick google search didn't find much.

Never heard of them, i got some Bassani long tube headers for sale - $450.00.

The look like Kooks knockoffs.

Doesn't tell you the type of stainless. Gotta love the China made products! They could work out well if not you'll have to go thru the lovely install process again!

I almost bought those too, but then I decided that I'd rather do it right the first time and use 300 series stainless and thicker guage metal as well. It looks thin and can't be that great of quality at that price.

I'll be buying the stainless power LT's from Jason at hypermotive, most likely within a week or so. He's got excellent pricing

Looks like Racing Innovation and Supply of Lenexa, KS.

I had a similar 'cheaply made' set of downpipes & exhaust on my previous car - had them on for about 35k miles with multiple track days and they held up wonderfully. Unless the car is driven in salty winter conditions, they would probably be just fine.

Only issues I've seen are some high flange tolerances leading to a bit of leakage sometimes at the interface to the block... but a double gasket usually fixes this

Be careful a low price for junk is money gone. Take pride in your ride, nuttin but da bess.

We're putting kooks on our boss. It is more expensive but trust me when I say you get what you pay for.

Those look so nice when they're new. I'd love longtubes on the Mustang, but the fact of the matter is that those + S-Types would be far too loud.

If a company in 2013 doesn't even have a website you can find, they're shady. Stay away. Not to mention I live within 15 miles of their location and have never heard of 'em.

Almost definitely Chinese made ripoff of another design. Just like the exhaust I had on my last car and had excellent success with... Not saying I know anything about these specifically but probably have looser tolerances but will be quite similar to other more expensive setups... For the cost would be worth trying in my opinion. I have seen the cheap ripoff ones have some flange profile tolerance issues but they have ended up fitting with a little "extra work"

Stainless power are also made in china.. the SW are made in USA but the Stainless Powers are NOT

The issue here is you shouldn't let made in China fool you either.

China's a wonderful place where ever type and level of manufacturing can be accomplished, case in point the iPad a number of people are probably reading this on.

They don't call the place 'the world's workshop' for nothing, you want a ~$200 pair of pipes or a $800 high-powered computing device, it's all there and buyer beware.

dmichaels

If there is good quality control, regardless of where made, the pipes should be good.

As noted above, MANY things are made in China (seems like everything) and there are various levels of quality... Too bad it's hard to compete in the USA with cheap manufacturing costs overseas

I know that stainless power is outsourced and that they are NOT made in the USA. I have already installed them and the quality and fit and finish of them is top notch. I'm not really sure what your point is.

The difference between just any Chinese made product and stainless power? Stainless power is still owned and warrantied by stainless works, made from the same material, specifications and design as stainless works and each is individually inspected by stainless works employees. All of this directly from the mouth of Chris Schneider from stainless works

Most likely because that address is his house. Its right down the road from my office.
