Regardless if I do have issues when I get it all in I will just drive it down to the muffler shop and have them do some hardcore bending for me.

I think this is a major question with Egay headers.

Will ______- y-pipe fit?

Will ______ x-pipe fit?

Josh, decide if you want to run a Y, X, or H pipe and then buy that, and have the rest fabbed up. Then you know it will fit.

Got mine in. Slipped in no modification to k-member, engine block, or even steering column was needed. I was having a hard time getting all the header bolts in and decided to do the old school warped flange trick and cut the flange in between the two middle bolts and they bolted in no sweat after that. Had an exhaust shop weld up the x pipe and flowmasters and I added cats because the car may be in an area that requires a sniffer test soon.

The headers have turned a nice golden color.

Just want to reiterate the fact that my car required ZERO modification to slip in and after cutting the flanges to match the factory manifolds they bolted up in literally minutes.

I've added quite a bit of fuel and timing now so I'm sure these things added some power. I'll know when I go to the track

The headers themselves wont have this, must be talking about a ypipe.

Gotta link to what your talking about?

Has anybody ever found out where these sellers on ebay are getting these headers? I seen 4 sellers selling the same headers that range from 145 bucks on up. These guys must not be giving much at all for these. I wish I could find where there are getting them

I got the Ebay headers on "from Opinion Racing" and the pacesetter y, it fits but not 100%. We had to pull/hank/beat the F out of it and the catback to all fit. But i had to grind my k members down. But the worst part is.. i had to grind them with the headers on... no that was a task. For the money the ebay headers are good. Just make sure u prep the fitment before u bolt up.. so u dont have to so what i did.

Here's a sound clip of mine, with a custom 3" H-pipe and single chamber mufflers. Mine were from dptmotorsport. I think they're pretty much all the same though.

Has anyone noticed an increase in valvetrain noise due to the header primary walls possibly being thinner than other headers?

Pics of ground clearance?

Any updates on y pipes that are known to bolt in?

I can't find any ebay username with opinion racing, but it seems like most of the headers are the same. Can someone PM me with more info regarding the exact headers they bought if they had success with them.
