totally depends on the application, and no, there are better headers, all the way into the $2500 range, but it is a good header

good headers are usually around the $800-1000 range but a good daily application is the DC header (bang for your buck)
if you have money to waiste look into HYTECH, MOOGEN, or Comptech's race header

i have a DC sports 4-1 header on my LS, and i feel it is the best bang for your buck... without a placebo effect, i can honestly say that i can tell a difference in my high rpm......at about 6k rpm if revs to 7500 alot quicker

good header, and i got it for $170 used....good price
