When I was up at the shop, Brian showed me a set of T/A knock off's and ATR Knock off's. They didn't look that bad. He just said he had to cut the ends off of the mating surfaces becuase the metal was so thin and weld new ones on. Also he had to clean the flange ports up a little.
I have a set of older ATR headers that he has there now. I wanted to get them jet hot coated after he makes the downpipe up. I was thinking about getting a set of the knock off T/A's and having him make the downpipe off of them. I don't know what would flow better the ATR's or the T/A's. Brian said he likes making up the down pipe off the T/A's better due to the bend the T/A's make. I think at this point where I am at I'll just leave the ones that I have there and get it over with. I have already made this more of a project than it already was! 
What Jet Hot coating do you have on your headers? I was thinking of the high temp sterling they have now. I think it's only good to 1300 degrees tho. Did the coating hold up well for you?
Thanks
Michael
