What are some of the benefits of a hand built header. I don't know about you, but me personally I think I'd prefer one that was mass produced by a computer...
I can't think of any benefits for a hand built one vs a computer welded one.

 

hand weld or computer weld doesn't matter..
It matter who design the header..

i give SMSP a two
David did a awesome welding on my header. Best i ever seen.
Its too bad i can't post a pic of my header..
David asked me not to post pic of header, cuz people copy his design.

 

CNC

Computer Normed Controll !

 

Thats what I'm saying...
How could a person's hand (no matter how skilled) be as consisent and refined as a computer controlled welder?

 

Well when a CNC'd header comes out and beats out the big names out there, then I'll agree. Unitll then go take a look at some of the "hand welded ones". They are beyond my expectations of quality of any header computer or hand welded.

 

that's why it cost me $1260 USD SMSP

 

havent you ever seen a computer mess up.. they sometimes cant tell if they are making a mistake or not... and really can mess stuff up...

thats true, but im pretty sure they dont sell the really messed up items...

 

i still have not seem many mass produced headers beat the custom headers, hytech, smsp, headertech, DTR all are hand built and out perform most of the other pea-shooters on the market, plus the attention to detail that a person can offer is always a plus

 

thats because most of the "mass produced" headers are just that..there meant for the "mass" and not for specialist.
since when has a hamburger from McDonalds tasted better then some fresh ground beef grilled on a bbq??
or when has some sony xplodes speakers (&lt;mass) sounded better then some Focal Utopia's (specialist)???

 

if i paid 1260 bux for a header then I would show pix of it to the world!!!!

 

Paying 1260 is a good amount for a header but you can also pay way more! Why would you show pics of it to the world, we all no what good quality headers look like,noobie

yeah they do... on Ebay... SSautochrome header for 125

 

u cant CNC a header.

its all about design, not who or what puts it together

 

CNC = Computer Numerical Control. Generally associated with routers / cutters but there's no reason you couldn't have a welder in there.
