Re: hmmm...
The weld finishing was poor (although none of the joints have failed). I spent several hours cleaning up the welds on the inside of inlets to eliminate numerous rough spots. That should have been done before the headers left the shop.
I also had an interference problem although that has mysteriously cured itself.
Finally, the O2 sensor on each header is located high up in the center tube near the engine, not in the collector (where it would sample the gases from all three tubes). So the sampling of the exhaust gases is only made from one cylinder, not from three, which will not give optimum sampling.
Would I buy them again? No. I would get the TAITEC or the SoS types.
I had the same experience.Larry Bastanza said:Ditto.
They [B&B / RM] have been reliable, no cracks etc. But the slip joint only seals when they are hot, so you have exhasut leaks while it is warming up. I would have to put them at the bottom on build quality, the welds are sloppy, not like the others shown above, including the DC. Also during the install I had to clearance the front beam, since it interfered with the #6 header pipe. Not my idea of well built.
