What were the "other" headers that failed ?

I HATE working with Belangers, they are a pain and at least one back to back dyno has shown them to be down in power vs (I think) a HMS header. Granted on a stockish motor you probably can't tell, but this specific high power n/a motor could definitely tell the difference.
What I do know to be a fact (not tested for a few miles on a "2008" car) is that my B&B headers that came with my car have been on said car for around 50,000 miles. I just pulled them off for the last time a few weeks ago. They look brand new except for color and there have been no issues at all.

Probably most all Viper headers are hand fabricated.....that may not be a good thing

Down with the pickle

EDIT: Link HMS header vs Belanger with dyno sheet
