Arh headers are a great product (sarcasm)NOT, I don't know about you but I'm not keen on buying a set of premium headers and having to take a hammer to them because they are hitting the steering linkage, there are several people with the same issue on here , purchasing them as recent as this month! Also when I called arh the guy was an a$$ and when I asked for info he was more interested in selling me headers and downing their competition than being informative! I feel a few questions are warranted when spending $1500+! Stainless Works was the total opposite, very helpful and knowledgeable! As well they were very eager to spend time with my questions and it was very evident they wanted to earn my business as a long term customer, instead of a quick sale! To top it off the headers look great, the tig welding is some the best I've seen especially around where the flange and primaries meet, the openings are polished smooth as well! So my vote goes to STAINLESS WORKS, GREAT PRODUCT AND THE PEOPLE TO BACK IT UP!

Dick landy, you posted on your reg cab build up you had the same issue, never the less, there have been several with that problem even after arh supposedly had fixed the jig problem. They seem to be inconsistent on fitment quality from the posts on here that's one of the reasons I went in another direction.

Dick landy sorry about the confusion, you didn't have fitment issues but there were a couple guys in your thread discussing they did though and their troubles "adjusting" them to fit.

My ARHs hit the steering shaft..had to grind down the bolt and the crossover pipe hangs lower than the cross member....i would have hoped for better fitment for the price

No experience with ARH, but only pros with any set of Kooks I've installed... and pricing is better. All the room in world installing current set on the '11 Sierra rcsb; tight connections, no leaks and quiet. Only had to reroute one O2 sensor wire on right side. And deal came with the top JetHot silver coating at no extra cost.

Kooks are running the same price as ARH according to their sites.. Where are you guys finding Kooks for a lot less?
