This is becoming a soap opera! Anyway, yes, my Header is flaking near the primary to secondary connection, but I can tell you why that is, I had a minor exhaust leak at that connection and it has cause some of the coating to flake off a bit. Look at it this way, at least the coating has lasted QUITE a while ( the majority of it is fine) whereas the PS is known to completely flake upon startup. Greg can attest to this. No one is saying that the PS is a POS, we are simply saying the HS is currently the best product on the market, not the best product for every budget/enthusiast.
Anyway, the header is going bye bye the day BEFORE the turbo kit is released
If it's any indication, after my experience with the CAI and header I am going to drop quite achunk of change for another HS product.
