They look nice. Also would be nice to put something on that you don't have to worry about rusting out.

More in the $300 range would be very reasonable. IMO.

I bet they would quite injector noise down a bit... I agree, $300 and I would look at a set.

I didn't think about the good points brought up here, never rusting out, and quiet down the injectors some all while looking good too. I wish I'd of seen these before my build was completed. I might of sprung for them.

That oil filler looks further back from factory. And the ccv fittings look small compared to what we run now.

I like them. I might be adding these to my wish list once I get the sticks back and my HPOP issues resolved.:D

Only advantage i see is the ability to polish them. Other than that a lighter wallet.

And IDK how you guys are having VC's rust, my old engine was rusty as **** but the valve covers looked good. I scuffed and painted em and had 0 issues. As for noise would they really be any quieter than the stock double walled covers?

Do you have any other photos? Or offer polishing?

Just for bling, these may be nice.

I have replaced 2 sets this year. One of them was actually starting to seep oil through a spot towards the middle of it.

The rest of the engines were rusty, but not the worst I had ever dealt with. I only had to replace the pan on one of those engines.

But not dealing with that again would be worth it for me and my customers. The bling and noise reduction are just bonuses. :thumbsup:

Just got a set myself, quite impressed with the quality and can't wait to get my engine together to see what they look like on it next to the billet plenums and maybe a polished compressor housing. Might even re do the air to water piping with aluminum. Oh and my roller rockers are going to clear just fine.
