$2600+ for ARH....so $424 was a no brainer
Maximizer Long Tube Headers and Midpipes for SRT10

Crazy pricing for a set of headers ,, IMO all of them ! The power gain is minimal also .
The price is cheap on a comparison and obvious would be hard to beat unless you made your own .
In the pics it still looks a bit on the rough finished side .
Those tags are always a problem , I hear a dab of JB weld will fix that problem

12-16hp is a steal for $424 in the hp world.

I feel like you would spend the same on parts if not more, not counting your labor and time collecting the parts.

I checked them over. I am content that nothing will restrict flow, the last thing I want to do is start getting greedy and open up welds.

I am not worried about the tag, I was just posting the fact that the tag fell off. It is going in the recycle bin.
Yes these days the cost of gaining a few HP is crazy . The deal in todays world you got is very good if everything works out as excepted .. at 424$ I don’t think you can go wrong on a comparison basis to other 2000$ plus systems . Actually makes me want to get these . But I’m waiting for the results on your install and hope the deal is still available so I will decide at some point .
No No No ,,, DO NOT REMOVE OR THROW AWAY THE TAG ! I read it is a federal law and you can be prosecuted for doing so . At least according to the tags on my mattresses hahahaha .
I agree with the getting greedy part and causing a leak … my concern would be maximizing the exhaust flow with out turbulence or slight restrictions .. since I can’t actually see them personally and only seeing them in the pics I can make any real determination as to the flow of the exhaust out … the affects may be minimal and is just my observation
@rottenronnie your the expert of porting , polishing and flow rates . What is your opinion of this on the headers and is it worth the effort or something to even bother with ?
I'd be concerned mostly with the cost. If Walmart made a regular 30% (wholesale-to-retail profit margain), that leaves the Manufacturer just under 300 bucks for some R&D, materials, manufacture and shipping. If they also come with Cats (looks like it in the pics), that 300 bucks would barely cover the cost of the Platinum required to make them work.
The Headers LOOK fine, but so did the 2-pack of Chinese scissors I bought for 8 bucks.
They weren't fine.
I went the full B&B route and they've been hanging under the truck for 17(?) years.
I believe you get what you pay for, but I've been wrong before.
As far as the value of headers go on these trucks and the performance they offer, I'm not a fan. The Cat-Back system was a worthwhile gain though, and I did that before Headers so I did both seat-of-the-pants and dyno evaluations.
I'm not picking on the Chinese here. They are more than capable of making excellent products. If asked to make something ultra cheap, it will be ultra cheap. Costs will be cut here and there.
Good luck.

These are NOT cats, just very small resonators that I assume are supposed to look like cats lol.
I did spend most of the day cleaning up the ports with a bit and then gave them a nice sand out. They were a little more rough than I wanted and it was now or never.
They turned out good.
Got the passenger side on and done, had to re-route the heater hoses behind the ac drier and also the abs wiring. Used a couple spacers on the bracket to make a gap for the hoses.
But the passenger side fits absolutely perfect.
