OHMYGAWD! I didn´t know that I gonna start such an avalanche with that post.
All kinds of social, economic and even philosophic answers. WOW!
What I wanted to say is, you usualy get what you pay for.
Buy some cheapo china made gasoline camping latern instead of the $$$$ Coleman and burn down your camper (don`t ask me how I found that out :rolleyes: )
O.K. it was my decicion to save some bucks.
But when I buy (AND PAY!! for) "Made in America" or "Made in Germany" because I learned my (Camper/Coleman/pantsonfire) lesson and still get the China stuff, that`s where I see the problem.
This is what the site where I got the "quality" headers from says:
Hot Rod's Ford flat head and Chevrolet 216,235 6 cylinder headers are absolutely the finest headers on the market. Period! They looked at what was currently available and decided that they could do better, much better. They've eliminated the individual leak prone flanges and designed their own 1 piece flange, precision cut from from heavy 5/16" steel. (3/8" for their Chevy headers) to resist warping. They added welded O-rings around each port to eliminate leaks. Plus, all of their headers are fixture welded and made from mandrel bent tubing to ensure precise fit. Hot Rod's is so confident in their headers that they are the only manufacturer to offer a full 1 year warranty and all of their headers and they are made right here in the good old' USA.
We are always trying to bring you the highest quality products available for your street rod or custom . We think we've out done ourselves with these headers.
Sounds good huh? Yeah sure!
It has nothing to do with wokers, workforce, unions and whatever. It is nothing but a simple fraud.
Some guy has some low paid guys bolt together some low quality headers somewhere in Mexico and sells them with some fat profit.
