Hell it's probably not even as good as 304L.

They list it as 304 and we all know it's thin gauge to boot.

For that reason, I'll keep my ceramic coated mild steel and

If only they had made it out of better stainless

I just got some weapon r headers on ebay for $250.

first mistake is wasting money on those bad boys

If he made a mistake then I'd like to make the same one. You got a great deal. Just needs a flange for the EGR pipe welded in & you're golden.

I think i will order mine monday. Have a shop extend the egr tube. Extend the wires for the bung so htey connect to the headers. And then order my mil elimintaor from sp which are the same ones that msds uses. which are 50.00 dollars and i will only have spent 400.00. I might as well do that. Atleast her in michgan my headers won't rust.

I'd rather have coated steel then uncoated 304 SS. Every day of the week! Period.
Uncoated SS is horrible for heat retention and bleeds heat badly to the surrounding area. The more exhaust heat lost the worse the performance and the more heat introduced to the engine, oil pan, and under hood the worse every thing else is.

You can't wrap cheap SS because it will crack. I suppose you could send it in for Jet-hot coating. Then that seriously cuts into it's price advantage everyone harps about.


This is a classic example of you get what you pay for. If you want to save a little money and buy this blatant knock off design then at least get them coated. You'd be very foolish not to.

Does anyone truelly know if they are 304 SS ....how do we not know they aren't 409 SS? Stazi have you miked up the wall thickness and compared them to MSDS? That will give you the all telling truth. Personally those headers still look like sh!t to me. The welds are wire welded and look like crap! The fact that they didn't even TIG them tells me its really crappy SS. Weapon crap R still needs to get a clue "revised" or not.
