Dynomax headers vs Hedman ???

Anyone ever used or is using 4x4 Dynomax headers? I was going to buy Hedman but am getting talked into Dynomax. I know Dynomax has good products, just want the scoop and pro/cons. Price not to enter equation.

I suppose it would be a matter of preference but you get what you pay for...

My DynoMax have been fine for a year -- maybe 4000 miles. PITA to install on my 2x4 F250. Had to bend my C6 shift arm (broke it and MIG-ed it back on) to make them fit.

I used the individual soft white paper (asbestos?) gaskets that came with the header kit from Summit.

I run Sanderson mid length headers (ceramic coated). No problems with exhaust too close to front drive shaft or headers contacting the over size pan I run. Ceramic coating holds up great no rusting headers.

I bought some dynomaxes a few years ago from sumit, turned out they were bent outa shape, die or something was bad, eh got my money back but was p.o.ed. I switched to Hooker super comps and have been happy except that i had to notch the frame to fit them into my manual F-250 4x4. That and changing starters requires me to remove the motor mount pedistal and the headers, so...
