Default GHL headers experience anyone ?

Saw these at their site. Anyone used them or has experience about these ?

Are they worth any power increase ?
Do they crack ?

There are two on ebay for real cheap, a steal if you ask me.

Don't know about them though....

Not if they're a cheap copy? The lhd and rhd extractors are actually one in the same. It's one of the few things that Porsche didn't make individual parts for it seems, and also one of the only things that you lhd'ers suffer for because of us rhd'ers. There is a significant kink in them to allow for our steering shaft and that's one of the reasons that people like SFR and others can offer a proper upgrade that actually works for you. The hard part is getting an upgrade that actually works for us...

Is it just me or do the tie-ins for #1 and #3 look like a poor design (i.e. not smooth gas flow)?

That price seems very good, I might look into these. I'll be sure to post up if I purchase them.

The B&B headers lose power, they look similar to these.

I really think the SFR headers both stage 1 or 2. are the only ones worth buying over stock. I you need to replace yours and can't afford SFR ones used stock would be the way to go.

stv951 - not that I care, but in the future you may consider NOT advertising to your competeing bidders, and even bringing in new ones for ebay items you are hoping to snag cheap.

I am always humored at how often people do this, thinking nobody can use google LOL

enjoy
