I have a set, and I personally like them. Cheap, strong, and look great. I have 6000+ miles on mine and they are in NY weather, with sand, rain, salt, ect. and are still perfect looking. Install was smooth, but the driver side header angles up and has some floorboard clearance issues.

^^ with the floorboard issue, you could either do the hose mod where you stick a chunk of hose around your Y pipe or you could put in poly motor mounts (pain in the *** but a good mod). there's a sticky for it somewhere.

not a fan of the y pipe at all. the dr side does go up towards the floor and kinda out . for the price these are pretty nice just keep in mind u prob will do some mods to get it all in and no clunks or banging of the floor board. oo and u will have to notch your k memeber

Oh snap, can we get a trade in program!!! Word on the street is flanges on the collectors, stainless catted y, and stainless true duals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must say I went to check my header bolt tightness yesterday and these babies still look great. Thats probably 3-4k miles in dust, sand, and some rain. I'm sure you could take them off polish them up and they would look exactly like they did when they were new.

Well no on the flanges. Stainless catted Y is still in the works but will not be out for awhile yet. And never thought about a stainless true dual but that's something to think about
Sorry no trade in program but you could probably sell you old set and get the new ones
