Has Anyone Had any luck using Summit brand Headers? I am asking because i can't find a set of headers in stock for my 1986 K 10 other than Summit brand. I want to buy Headmans but i can't find any in stock. They are all back ordered for months. i am looking for stainless steel. Any info would be appreciated.

Anything that is summit branded is usually bottom of the barrel for quality. Few things in this hobby are worse than cheap ass headers!

A buddy of mine put the Summit brand big block headers on his C30 a couple or three years ago. They fit well and he has had no leaks out of them. He did use Remflex gaskets though, not the cheap paper ones.

in my opinion there good. I heard once years ago they were made by flowtech and I have some of those and like them. Could have gone down In quality over the years like allot of other things.

I have a set of their ceramic coated on my C10, but is lowered and for a Chevelle for more ground clearance.

FWIW, good quality. Nice thick flanges. No complaints, but with 4WD you’re jumping through more hoops than I am.
