they are the same thing as the CAM headers, and i hated the install. i had to drop the k twice because the steering shaft would not go in. they look good and quality would be good if they would iron a few things out. i ended up talking to a rep about their crap, and ended up with a comment "sounds like you dont know how to install a set of headers". yeah, right :x

fitment:

dirvers side collector was on the floor pan, had to dent a little to clear
oil dipstick was a pain to reinstall, i dont think it will come back out without being damaged
1 primary tube was against the starter (they claimed to fix that issue)
steering shaft would not fit with motor mounted, had to drop the k to install it
after steering shaft was installed, it rubbed the headers. i had to put small dent in it and file down the u-joint knuckle to get it to quit rubbing

Wow, sounds like my luck. Hopefully it'll work out, you've had your fair share of difficulties lately.

they also dont make an x pipe for the set up either. we installed a vrs x pipe that is made for bbk headers. the mid pipe was a little narrow for the headers, but ti was no big deal to widen them just enough to fit. they do have a h-pipe, but i think there has been issues with them and the o2 placement.

Sounds like some pieces of junk
