I know when I bought a peco header for my 75 it looked a lot better than this one. Anyone else who's bought a peco header lately is this normal?

Good grief Stewart, that's one crappy looking job. I'd take it back. Not only does it look like they cut the holes out with a torch, but the weld job isn't first class either. Glad you posted it. I certainly wouldn't buy one! Where's that thing made anyway?

The Pacesetter header that I bought for my Spridget was at least that bad. This was about five years ago....not sure if they've improved.

I didn't have time to return it (race coming up) so I cut it apart and fixed it myself.

For a standard street MGB i would not even consider aftermarket headers. If you look at the stock setup its pretty much the same as a long center branch header. They are very efficent and do not go bad. Every 15 years you may need to replace the studs. A small price to pay for older british quality. Bob
