Default CHP Headers?

Anybody know or have reviews on the headers made by Coast High Performance? Here's the link:

http://www.coasthigh.com/351-Windsor...be-p/11527.htm

They are a bit pricey compared to the Accufab's I was looking at, and I thought I saw these were ceramic coated.

Any input?

I sort of' know the owners of both Accufab andCHP.
I'll betanything they are made by Accufab.
They are coated but it don't saywith what. Coatings always seemto add $100-150 to any price.You et what you pay for so I'll bet those are sme nce haders........

This is the first time I'd heard of these headers. Accufab is reputable, should I stick w them?

I think you would be OK with the Accufab headers.
BTW, the guy that runs the place has over 50 years in the hi-performance business.
He worked with Mickey Thompson on the original T-Bolts......

George, right? That's who they told me to talk to. He was out of the office when I called.

Hmm, welp. I was going to run 1 7/8 headers on my combo, but was talked out of it by George. I have Trickflow TW 205's, which is a stock-type head. George said the head won't except 1 7/8 headers because of the bolt pattern. He said 1 3/4 was the biggest I'd be able to run. Now, that's only a 1/8" difference. He also said he didn't think my combo would make 500 horsepower, which was my goal to hit (not to the wheels).

Tad bit disappointing.
