Jegs vs Summit Headers

I know headers have probably been beat to death on here...

However, has anyone ever compared Jegs and Summit cheapie headers side by side? I hear Summit headers fit well...but I had a pair of Jegs cheap headers and they hung a little low for my liking...

Very... Mine have been bottomed out quite a few times. IMO, cheap is nice but hopefully the higher dollar headers would not hang so low. I imagine Summit headers are the same. They are probably used for a few applications.

for my budget 383 build i used summit 1 5/8 ceramic coated headers for ~$158. i am quite impressed that they dont sit low.
not a bad deal.
rumors circulated in the past that these were actually hedman or hooker, but i cant confirm this.
i have no regrets with these headers.

Is there a way you can see the spacing between the collector and the body? My Jegs headers' flange are like 2 or 3" apart from the body:bored:

I have summit cheapie ones, I've never really thought they sat too low. Then again my car doesn't really have a ground clearance problem...They've been on my car for a few months now and the paint is already flaking off the bottom. They fit well and don't leak though.

i didnt sweat brand loyalty on this budget build too much, so less than ~$160 for ceramic coated headers was a good buy in my book.

got a pair of summit cheepies on my nova even did an engine swap from one car to another and they dont leak and fit fine they do scrape the driveway in the new 68 but it needs springs in front it sits just a little low.
