What do you define as "extreme heat"? No one else has any problems with a quality tube stainless steel header, so what makes your application so much harsher?

If your concerned with extreme heat, keep the stock cast iron header. Can't be beaten for high heat longevity...

there's no GSR style headers

they're either for the B series or they're not

the only things you should be concerned with are the collector size or if they're stainless or not

personally I'm sticking with stainless becuase I hear ceramic cracks, or you can get your stainless one coated

High heat? Are you running nitro-methane with a big *** blower?
