They said it couldn't be done....
I thought they were painted. Guess not. Headed to the store to get some black paint I suppose. I'll be installing this baby tonight.
Oh yeah. 3.5" chromoly Strange. This one shouldn't break.

This is a seriously beautiful build man. I think I'm going to use the eBay turbo headers on my next build for a twin kit. Your car just looks so good and symmetrical I can't wait to see the final product.

I have a pair of these china headers as well as a pair of stainless works lsxt headers(the straight collector ones with the largers tubes). The sw headers are 16 ga and definetly beefier but the china ones are not as lightweight as you might think. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on an moderate boost street car and for 170 bucks shipped with v bands they are hard to beat. both of these headers fit into my 99 mustang in the down and forward configuration without any modifications.
Amen! I've shied away from the cheap stuff but I've recently bought obx stuff and been very pleased.
fits, good price, looks great, and several folks have been running their headers on ZR-1 c4 stuff for years and they look and hold up great.
I've been hesitant to use the "cheap forward" headers but for 180 bucks they are almost disposable.
if they last a few years, that will be good enough for me at that price!
thanks for taking the plunge and providing the feedback.

I found a BBC tube "lokar knock off" for 19 on flea bay.
Had the same problem on my TTix with the dip stick as I forgot to put it on before the manifold.
take some heat shrink tube around the ends as sometimes the fitting pulls off and its a royal pain to get the braided line back into the fitting. it's a cheap alum crimp fit and after lots of heat cycles they fall apart.
nice build, I love the PS res. Where did you find that? looks killer
