i assume you are asking whether the spoon copy header is worth it or not. it makes great power, but hange ridiculously low. i removed mine (authentic spoon) because it was only a matter of time before it got crushed.

i bought one of those for my LS swap a few months ago. it's holding up pretty well. and yes, it does hang a little bit low. i've already scrapped it a few times, nothing too bad though. just lil scuffs. i did feel a difference upon the higher rpm range too

looks nice buts thats only half the equation, the welds look nice but whats the material, will it rust? also hows the fitment? also the merge collector looks a little'sudden' meaning it might bottleneck right there, what size tubing and flange is it?

be the test dummy and but it, then get a friend with another header and be the dyno guy and test stock, replica, other brand.
