Default Yeah yeah, another newbie posts about headers...

So I searched the forums and went through the last two pages of search results and didn't quite get the redux I was looking for.

Headers: PPE or Sikky? My ISF is a 2011 and I have Joe Z exhaust and K&N intake, so this seems to me to be the next logical step.

Thanks!

No difference. People will tell you that PPE build quality is better.. is all a matter of opinion. Gains are similar.

IMO, the PPE quality and fitment is second to none. Look at this thread:

Look at pics, then scroll down to post no. 13.

I am loving my PPE headers, built in america, supporting american jobs. I have been told the "other brand" available is not made in house to keep manufacturing prices down. If anyone else can chime in on that I have heard this from more than one source.

Both are great products ...but like said earlier from the pics PPE looks better built. Dynos seem to be the same as well

I hope you arent referring to the Sikky headers. They are 100% made in the USA. Heck it's the first thing you see when you go to Sikky.com at the top.

Can't go wrong with either PPE or Sikky headers.

I have had sikkys on for 20k I dunno how anyone can say ppe fitment is second to none... The first 20 sets rubbed like crazy. Ppe has fixed the problem for everyone but sikky has never had fittment issues. Both made in the states both are quality products... ppe west coast and sikky is the east.... I made 40wheel from my sikky headers and have had no problems. Jason has the first set of sikky headers, which came out months before ppe had fitment or cel right. He's had them over two years with no issues at all.

That is completely incorrect, don't spread incorrect facts about about great companies because you haven't even taken the time to look into them. Sikky makes great products for the F. Their sway bar is killa.

I understand what they're website says, I'm just saying I've heard it more than once in a group of people that they are not made in house, I'm probably wrong but just wanted to point it out and see if anyone else has heard this too? If not then nm.
