How are your gains. Is it worth the money and effort to install.

The Weapon-r headers are basically an exact rip off of the msds headers. The gains are the same.

Gains are the same (design rip-off like you said) but the quality is not.
Weapons-Rice are very thin & brittle SS. Cheap & sloppy welds from what I have read too.
Not exactly what I would want for the repetetive heat cycling that a header goes through.
That is once you modify them to work on our car of course. (EGR tube & O2 differences)
They also carry no warranty at all either.
Morale of the story is just get a set of MSDS headers from Marty.
If you want them "shiny" forever, buy them uncoated and send them to jet hot/swain/etc yourself.
However my headers, with the revised "silver" coating, have lasted for nearly 3 years and still look like they did the day I put them on.
Yes I painted them with ThermoTec paint (several coats) first and then here just again last fall (when the powertrain was out)

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
