I have one of Lone Star's early models. 42,000 miles on it now. I love the 4" inside the interior. Trunk does not leak in the rain. The bottom of the hood is finished (smooth) I like that. Interior tube molded to the body, as well as the trunk. No air or water leaks.

We have several of the Unique in our group, great cars. IRS rear ends, interior and trunk molded to the body.

ERA very close to the looks of the original. I've never worked on a ERA so what I know about them is what I have read on the forums.

FFR large support onsite support group. The lightest of four.

Price? you can spend the same amount on any of the four. Base cost of the kit may be different but the total cost will be the same or about the same.

The four that you are looking at are all great cars. Each is different. You can not go wrong with any of them.

IMHO

I have a Lone Star body on a custom frame and as Dwight said it is good. No leaks ( and I have been caught in the rain ). If you go with the LS, I recommend steel pipes and paint them if you are going to drive the car.

The ceramics are nice, but every thing that can melt on the pipes - will.

Just my $.02

I have ceramic headers and side pipes. Love them. They remove a lot of heat from the engine bay. Ceramic cool quicker to the touch that any other sidepipes. Stainless and chrome stay hot for a very long time.

After a couple of minutes I can touch my sidepipes. Which is great at car shows/cruises when kids and adults get to close to the car.

You can use aluminum polish ( stuff for rims) to polish the pipes to a shine and to clean off road crud. In the rain, everything burns onto the pipes.
