Yes they do. Sorry I am slacking on pics.

How is plugs access with those Stainless Works headers compared to OFI headers?

Would they be direct swap for OFI with no fitment issues?

Nope. There are several diffrences from the OFI headers. Plug access is decent. It is still tight, but having a tight engine bay doesnt leave much in the way of room as it is.

That really isn't true. Turbo headers do need to matched to your application; and it's just as important that they are made out of stainless material and a thicker diameter tubing so they don't crack. The heat present in a turbo header is greater than a standard or supercharged application.

Josh, Do you have pics to post or you could PM me on this in a kit. I have been talking with Matt (rs ss69) about this kit and he works at the shop I get all my work done at and he talked about a kit that works with out losing your ac. I definatley am interested and my WS6 Project will be starting in about 1-2 months and I definatley will be going with one of your systems. I am just trying to find all of your options and kits that you offer.

If you want to PM me all of your kit options and prices that would be awesome. I did get your PM to your webpage. thanks

Just an FYI since someone bumped this thread. ONLY the $12XX down/forward stainless works headers fit in a 4th gen Fbody.

The up/forward version for $9XX are built for early model cars. They do not clear our fender/shock towers.
