It is kinda unfortunate that everyone frets about the price. I build headers for a living and that price is not far off for a set of "custom" headers

But they should not be considered custom because after the first set the price should come down. Dont forget the tooling costs also must be offset.

I wanted to comment on DSE's headers as mine arrived today. Honestly, not impressed for the price in terms of cosmetic. The headers are defintly "raw", there are tooling marks all over them, and they are not one piece tubes. You can see the weld beads.

As for the oxygen sensor, it looks like its in one tube, but the tubes are already merged together at that point. Its exposed to all 3 tubes.

My hopeful main point is they will fit awesome and killer ground clearence.
It is unfortunate that the tubing wasn't pre prepped before welding, that is unacceptable in my mind.

Yup, I did contact them and the tooling marks are considered normal. They do have beautiful welds, but the pictures on the sites do make the tubes look nicer than they really are. Overall, the fit is what make me happy


Pm me for pictures
