before you buy those your gonna want to see what size they are. some of them are only 1 5/8 x 2 1/2 collectors with thin head flanges. they need to be atleast 1 3/4 x 3" collectors with a 3/8 head flange

Do yourself a favor and hold off on mods until you have a decent, steady income...the mods themselves aren't nearly as expensive as the other crap that is bound to crop up when those mods don't go as planned. Been there...

Keep it stock if you are poor. Mods add up fast.

If you can fix the angle on the driver header and notch your k member then they cant be beat.

They are 1.75 tubes, 3/8 flange, and tig welded 304 stainless.

judging by the quality of the add (spelling and grammar) i would at least find a different place to buy them from....i mean if they dont bother to hit spell check and make there add look as professional as possible then what other corners are they willing to cut?....if i were you i would save up a few extra bucks and support a sponsorer...i may be thick headed but thats just my outlook on things...if you are interested in mac mids and ORY and even a catback send me a pm and we can work a good deal out....later on man

I would wait and save your $$ at least for some pacesetter or some used ones on the for sale section.

Like I said before......used, used, used.
My Grot LTs, custom 3" Y with flowmaster merge, and eddy catback are treating me just fine.
You just gotta have a little patience and check the classifieds a lot, then you can "steal" some great stuff too......

if your gonna do mods, you gotta do em right the first time, its a gamble with ebay headers so save a lil more and get some pacesetters that have a reputation of good quality and performance
