Point blank like Ive said before they do NOT produce these headers. Jim does NOT design them. Theyre made by the same people as LPP which are chinese headers. Jim has been banned before under a different name for bad business dealings but it seems that doesnt matter. You'll probably have better luck holding his feet to the fire over on tech where he is actually a sponsor. I know its semantics but its the way tech and PT are segregated.
I have seen them skate around alot of ?'s in regards to production, only to get ''we design them, build'' If thats the case, the pictures you can find and that I even posted in there threads are identical to the LPP, ect china brand deal, so I don't buy it. Not to mention any comments on these pictures by them. I have yet to see a AMERICAN made 321 polished header for that price.
If they are china headers advertise them as such, not as made in USA. Given alot of people do ''Budget" things so the price does appeal more so to them. But quality is much much much more hit or miss.

honestly it's not really worth it, atleast for me. I was going to opt in on the 1 7/8 headers possibly, but since they are posed to be USA made, seem to not be, I will go else where. If they can not post back, then it proves ALOT of our points.

But quality is much much much more hit or miss.I used to think they were identical too from looking at the pictures but after seeing the fitment of the calspeeds they did a shitty job copying the LPP design.

Yes especially on a 4x4 the collector has to be crushed nearly in half to clear the drive shaft. In the end we decided it was not worth it to damage a new set of headers that much so he decided to get rid of them and wait for LPP to be back in stock. A little dent or ding would be okay but it needed a significant amount of damage.
I would never put these on a 4x4.

LPP headers are 10000x better than the Cal Speed headers. My friend had LPP headers on his 4x4 with no fitment issues as did I. He then tried to put a set of calspeeds on and they rammed right into the front driveshaft and yoke on the same truck.
