    It’s a Goat.
    I’ve used knock off headers for past vehicles without issue.

    Too many…scratch that…not done yet.
    IMHO, I would not do it!

    Save up and spend the extra $400 and get the JBA LT. Those you posted are made in China for/marketed under retailer/distributor DNA Motoring.

    Do quick YT search of the part #. There's comparisons to OBX quality, which some have reported the pipes being bendable by hand.
    Also, the DNA's are welded inside of the tube to the flange, then tig'ed on the outside....nothing ported/polished. I'd bet it kills the intended savaging of a LT header...
    YT the JBA's and look at the difference inside the tubes!

    Few other considerations:
    What if you get a crap part? Are you sure DNA will warranty it. Also, search the forum...seems like I remember there being someone recently that bought some knock offs that were terrible.
    Just FYI...the tolerances for replacing the headers is SUPER tight... You don't want to be hours in and find out a bolt hole/flange is out a 1/16".

    Call Keith @dirtydeeds. He has ligit, proven hp/torque specs with JBA's LTHs... on the Tundra!
