Comptech is probably your best overall option in terms of a SS CARB-legal header.

You know in my opnion this is true. 5 out of 7 older style DC ceramics that ive seen were cracked in the same spot. im pretty sure that DC heard alot about it and have recently changed there method of construction.

When or if they do crack its not too hard to get them fixed. little grindage and a quick weld.

good call on the comptechs do they cost more?
