I got one to get a small amount of additional header clearance.

I have had it for several years with no issues.

One thing it has going for it is it will not pull apart like a stock one can.

I was with a friend many years ago at the track when he had one come apart and left him with no steering in the lights. It was a Super Stock 67 Hemi four speed Belvedere II car and the constant tugging on the steering wheel while changing gears pulled the steering column up enough to pull it apart. Fortunately he was able to only drive it a little off the end of the track.
