Edit - nm the ones with emissions were for a vette.

They look very nice, how would you connect to the collectors? Slip fit?

They appear to be a clone of Kooks headers, which would imply excellent ground clearance.

I was looking for possible gains over stock.

I was looking for CAI (not sure which yet), these headers, high flow cat and probably SLP catback.

Any ideas how much of an increase I might see?

Just trying to decide whether or not it is worth doing...

Thanks.

from a stock car to having mods. Ive seen bone stock cars dyno, then get headers, intake and exhaust and only pick up 18rwhp. Then another car do the same and on a stock tune make 30rwhp over stock.

Anyone ordered these lastely? Keeps giving me an error when I try.

edit - payed with paypal and it worked fine.

Are the collectors flared outward at the end? I want to weld V bands onto the end but might be difficult if the collector is flared not straight.

i have the other version of the ebay headers, the ap1ap2/speeddaddy versions.
running an open y-pipe, K&N intake, and being m6 i put down 299 on a stock tune in november. would have been even higher with more pulls, and considerably higher with a tune
