From what i've seen and read about them they aren't particulalry good ,cracking seems to be a consistent problem with them.

I had them, and they cracked within 3 months, on just about every weld, really badly at the flexi joint.

Well Harvey can supply standard headers that have been ported but i don't know if this will meet your requirements (he posts on here as harvey or his website index and speak to him about what you want).

If you know someone that is a welder you could get them and then have the welds beefed up. It would have to be tig tho. the rason they crack is due to poor penetration on the welds. a good welder can correct this in a couple of hours.

I you can weld then there could be some money to be made strengthening these up.

I could do it but my boss doesent look well on moonlighting and a good Tig set costs a couple of grand.
