I took a ban for those headers buying them and saying they are better than kooks and them until they became a sponsor and I stand by what I said jsut as strongly today as I did then.

Go look in the new products showcase for the seller. for 600 shipped you get stainless headers and stainless Y pipe.


here was my thread I made back in the day when they could be bought for 350 shipped: (looking for it)

the fitment was great, the quality was superb, and the price was unbeatable. I reccomend these over any other headers for anyone on a budget, and even for those who arent.

I have them on my car and the headers themselves are awesome. They fit perfectly, without having to remove any other components or mess with the k-member.

Y-pipe had fitment issues (hits the floor), but the headers themselves are excellent quality.

Mine does to but thats how it tucks so nicely I would recomend the "heater hose" or do what I did. Get some of that fiberglass/alum thermal tape and layer it SEVERAL times. Then put it in between. Removes the metal on metal and works REALLY well!!

I couldn't deal with it touching the floor anymore, it was really annoying and the vibration kept causing the knock sensor to pull timing.

The car is in the shop now getting a full dual exhaust put on, they put a nice bend after the collector to clear the floorboard as well
