I got the eBay stainless headers and ory from eBay seller ap1ap2. They look very nice but required some pounding to make them fit. Look up eBay headers, there's alot of threads about fitment. All in all very worth the $320 shipped IMO.

You will still need your 02 sensors and you'll also need extensions for them. If anything they'll increase your MPG from the increased breathing of your engine, that is if you can keep your right foot outta it.

Pace setters are ******* garbage. I wouldn't run them if I got paid.

i dont have any pics during the install but if you search around here you'll find some.

6k miles later. i had just washed the car. those water spots are not perment.

You can barely see where i had to dent the #1 primary to fit the steering shaft. i also grinded down the steering shaft slightly to make it fit where i was happy. i also had to put a slight dent on the #7 primary to clear the k member.


Passenger side fit as is no problems.


Look at the attached pics for what they look like new. they are 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 steped with 3" collectors. Im still very happy with mine. its a daily driver. already been through plenty of weather.

thanks alot that really clears it up for me they look really good and are the exact ones im looking at buying...the main reason im buying really is cause i want a lil bit more power...but my manifold bolt broke off in my head you know the ones on the end were there is a place to bolt manifold up and on the but there is also a extra bolt hole for headers im guessing thats what the hole is for nothing else could go there...did you have any gains in power with yours?
