Also the W-R headers don't match the primary lengths nor does the overall build quality look very good. (Even if the material itself is better now)
If you want to compare just the price of the headers as they come it looks like the W-R headers have a huge price advantage. However when you look at the whole picture it's not such an advantage really and that's just from a price stand point. The MSDS headers have ever other advantage except the Y-pipe design. Then again I bet the W-R Y-pipe's extra length unbalances the U bend's pulse. Par for the course with Weapons-Rice. If you aren't going to exactly match stock then just remove it and tune your chip for it or run a modified stock Y-pipe.
WTH??? Greg, did you even look at the pics?? The primaries are IDENTICAL on both headers. Granted the y-pipe at the back has a longer section for the rear header, but I would think that it would be BETTER seeing as it's length is closer matched to that of the front pipe, i.e. what you would want ( qual length secondaries)
I don't understand why your fighting this so hard.
The only downside I can agree with you upon is the lack of couting, but my ADC headers aren't coated either and I have had NO issues with those, and they run way hotter than any N/A application herein.
