C6 Hinson Headers
You get what you pay for! The H pipe was not welded together straight, headers were fine. I had to get Hinson to send another one after paying a deposit.

I just had Hinson headers installed on my 08 two weeks ago.
According to my installer, they went in without a hitch. They sound awesome. They do seem to put out quite a bit of heat, even though they're coated, but that could be normal. This is my first header install so I don't know, but I'm glad I ordered the spark plug boots as well...

Heres how I wrapped my headers, while they definitely help with the heat they also muffle the sound. that pretty blue color only last until they heat up then they turn white as the heat burned all the color off. just a few things to consider.

I paid $1,172 delivered for the 1 7/8" coated headers and X pipe, gaskets, header bolts, and spark plug boots.
There may be a better deal around, I don't know, but I was in a little bit of a bind. I ordered a set of OBX headers, waited forever for them to come in, and when they did they were wrong. The problem was my car was already at my tuner/installer, in the middle of a cam install, so I had to have something fast. Hinson got them to me in two days free shipping.
I'm happy with them, and I would buy from them again...

Ordered on July 6 came in today the 11th free shipping. I read some of the previous posts about these and figured I would give them a shot since the price is hard to beat and I'm also trying to lower cabin temps( ceramic coating). I think Hinson must be listening, the packaging seemed better than I read about in posts just this year and the O2 extensions are 32" instead of 20" a few had complained about. No scratches on the coating were found. I have the patient prepped and ready to start on this evening after it cools off.

I also had a very good experience with Hinson, the only problem that I had is the box with the headers was delivered on a Friday (following my order on Tuesday) but the O2 extensions where delivered in a separate box on Saturday (weird). But otherwise the quality was great and they went on without a hitch. I ended up heat wrapping the O2 extensions as they ran a little close for comfort but I've had no problems with nearly 1000 miles on them!
