Had issues with the slip joints excessively leaking/blowing and the supplied gaskets are terrible.

pay a little extra for something like japspeed better to do it right the first time

Thing is budget kit is often badly fitted as budget also involes budget fitting, but I do agree with gaskets slip joints can be a problem without a decent fitting compound.

I have personally used that exact header, and it fitted so bad I had to break out the tig and basically reconstruct the entire far side piping.

Beware

Can't comment on the headers themselves but Andy (Williams Motorsport) is a top engine builder and runs rally cars if he thinks they're up to the job I'm inclined to believe him.

They still have a two bolt up-pipe so they will be prone to leaking.

I sell between 10-20 sets of these a Month, they do perform well, (as proven on the test mule), they are much better than the ones with flexi joints and I am now supplying better up-pipe gaskets as there has been some issues with the std ones failing.
They come with 12 month warranty so please, if anyone has had any problems let me know. I am looking onto stocking the 3 bolt type but they are twice the price.
