It sounds like they would work though...

Why? There are plenty of Header choices for 98 GPs out there.

There are plenty of choices for the V-6's but only one choice for headers for the V-8's. Thorley's is the ONLY place making headers for the FWD V-8 platform.

Exactly, he has a 98 which has a V6... Unless he swapped in an LS4 or has a GXP/IMP/Monte not listed in his sig, but then they would fit. . . .

Yes the LS4 is in the process. I'm a little side tracked on a Nissan R32 project at the moment, but yes, the LS4 will be done soon.

Yup.

Isn't there something saying about anticipation being better than having something, or something to that effect?

Whoever said that sucks. I want my headers!

I'm interested to see what kind of numbers catless cars are going to pick up. Do you guys happen to know if it's a 3" collector?
