TA stock replacement vs TA race headers

[ikle]

I know that the stock headers are good for 10's and my car will never be that fast, I am just tired of the stockers leaking, so I am looking to purchace one set of TA Performance headers. What I am looking for is a header that can be removed and reinstalled many times without the fear of a potential leak. Every time I remove the stockers to do some other work on the car I have leaks ( mostly at the cross over to header connection ). What would be the better hassle free header for my needs ? Thanks,Kyle.

I doubt you will ever have a problem with the Stock replacement ones...The only problems I have really seen with the stock headers are cracks and people over tightening the crossover...The TA's are much better material so cracking shouldn't be a problem and like Grumpy said the flanges are beefy, you'd have to get crazy to over tighten them and the bolts would probably break before they distorted like the stock ones do.

Today I talked to Nick Micale from ArizonaGN and he agreed that the TA Performance stock replacement stainless steel headers would be a perfect fit for my car, so I have a set on order. Thanks for everyones input, Kyle.

Make sure you clean the inside of them out when you get them. I found some nice sized pieces of slag in mine not that I was surprised nor upset I always clean new parts.

Produce improvement is very important to products and service I sell, so feedback, good and bad is always wanted and accepted.

Kyle's set has NO slag or stuff inside as this issue was addressed a while back.

A few customers also commented on some of the header flanges not being straight and would rock when placed on the head. All TA headers are now having this surface ground as the final operation to assure that it is completely flat when the customer receives it.

In my business, I remember a quote from long ago, "Quality is a management decision".

Oh I'm very happy with the product and these were at least a few years old. I always clean my parts when I get them nth that I'm hoping or looking for slag or dirt just always like knowing for sure
