I agree. I dont have any experience with these headers, but have read where you usually have to cut the K member for these to fit. I bought a set of BBK LTs & am very happy with them. They fit with no problem, & very reasonable too. $500 & came with a really nice ORY pipe for that price.

You will have to grind a little bit off the k-member, and the drivers side collector will be pointly up slightly. If you don't mind messing with those things then save yourself some money and get them!

If you're poor you shouldn't be modding a car anyways.

Personally, I'de hold off until I can afford something you won't have second guesses about.

if your going to get headers be sure they are ceramic coated it'll make a difference.

The only used headers I would get would be stainless. I was keeping my eye out for some used stainless headers and got some QTPs for 600, not too bad. Other headers just get shitty so fast they arent worth getting used. If nothing comes across go with the ebay headers. Alot of people dont go for them since they are new and they are so cheap but the gains will be the same, its just the fitment.
