I have had mine on for just over a year. One if the main reasons besides for the price I chose speed engineering was the stainless. Well from the top side they look stainless from the bottom plain steel. I am over all satisfied with them. I used different bolts as well, I have had no leaks or cracks yet. My passenger header sat on the frame Sean at SE blamed my Anchor engine mounts. I purchased the true duals kit this Christmas and installed after completion I noticed there is now clearance between header primary and frame hmmmm???
For the price you can not go wrong however be prepared to modify and spend more money getting it right.

just pulled my headers and y pipe off after about 15k miles and there was a small crack on the Y pipe where the merge was. the leaked exahust gas really emphasizes the crack. its not very big but you can see it and feel it with your finger.

did not notice any issues on the headers but also did not look very hard. this one on the y pipe was just easy to see so i looked at it closer.

Is that a crack or just a pin hole in the weld?

Thank you guys for all the comments good and bad. zblee it looks like the circle blemish on the upper Y-Pipe tube was sitting on the crossmember with the weight of the exhaust on it, which might have caused the crack. Either way if you dont want to weld it PM me, and I will do what I can on another one for you.

Thanks
Sean

The way that y pipe is torn it looks like the headers were pulling it apart.
