Exclamation headers... ugh.

well... after months of waiting on clear image to get done w/ their tri-y's i just got an email from them that they have only one guy working on the fixtures.. and they wont be ready until summer... spring they hope....

so on that note, i'm moving on... i need some breathing room for the RADIX when i'm ready to throw it on this spring... so thats where you guys come in...

TOG or ASM?

w/ ceramic coating of course....

TOG gets my vote .. thicker flanges, solid primary tubes (no welds), and easy installation.

I have the ASM's. They gave about .3 seconds. I was very satisfied. Worth $750... that depends on how much you like to race.

Asm are good but the Coating on them really sucks
If your running a supercharged vehicle i would say get them recoated with something good
Mine went all rusty on my in no time due to the extra heat

Rusty headers = bad .... first I've heard of them rusting, but that would just make me lean on the TOG's even more. Just be sure to get them coated. All long tubes need to be coated.
