Tom;
I didn't mean to imply that there was a problem with the Falcon header, Tom.
It's just that Falcon is a brand I already know about. I'm just a little

[Rimmer] headers but no one who has had a good, solid experience with any other
brand of stainless header. Any satisfied customers of other brands out there?
