Great Product

Love these headers. They look and sound great. Super fast shipping, arrived in 2 days. Very easy to install. They're a little bit pricey, but still, great overall.

Good, however:

I like the headers. But I wasn’t supplied with enough bolts to attach them to the y-pipe. Also the driver side gasket didn’t fit the existing bolt pattern so I have to now buy the gaskets to fit on my own. Also, not having an install guide made it tricky as well. And the estimated time of delivery was wildly off by two weeks. Still, nice headers.

Worth Every Penny

Ok so this is not an easy job the bends make it really hard to get the bolts in. If you can’t to it go to a shop and have them do it.

Ho Hum

Not impressed with product. Stainless Steel had rust spots. Inside of pipes especially dirty - ran a rag through them and came out really dirty and small black bits came out - like a lot. Ran a long slender brush through pipes again and still came out with brown colored bristles. Ports are welded irregular and looks unprofessional. Not sure I want to put these on my car.

Solid Headers

Easy installation on passenger side tools about 30 min. The driver side on the other hand took 1 1/2 hours the hardest part is one screw right behind the pipe and difficult to get into. Highly recommend getting these.

Great Product

These headers look and sound great. They are difficult to install, because you have to remove other parts to access the space you need. That isn't the fault of the manufacturer so I still gave them four stars for installation.

Direct Fit

Good product for that price, directly fit and assembling was easy. I spent 15 minutes to install. Sound fantastic, i think more bass sound. Best bang for buck.

Amazing Quality at an Affordable Price

I was a little skeptical, but these headers fit and quality is comparable, if not better, than some of the other brand names. Not to mention they sound amazing.
