Ask them.

They make them, so whatever answer they give you will be a lot more accurate than some random on the internet.

My X-FORCE headers where Ok until I started seriously tracking the car; they cracked twice at the collector weld points.
NitroDann suggested I reinforce the welds (which I did with rectangular shaped strips) and all good so far.

I have a set of hurricane headers. I painted them matte black and then wrapped them in titanium heat wrap. They look great and helps reduce temps. Sure you can get a better set at higher cost. Pretty sure they will do what you need them to do for your applications.
