You're not going to return them once you're done working for 9 hours, then 2 more for trying to fix them

That's it? I'd expect to even spend more time on them to be honest but that's me.

Jorgs, I thought you got the SSAC's? Don't those fit better?

I just broke my dp/rear header connection last night and drive around town with an open DP all day until I get this new v band clamp.

Had my headers welded and still leaks with ZZP flex.

Other than that it fit well but the front o2 hits my fire wall

Well once you fix out all the kinks headers are worth it, right guys?

Depends what you consider kinks, some have to do some fabrication. Its just hard to see 180$ headers fitting correctly & sealing correctly with no ticking/leaks since theres so many other headers that cost 4x as much.

Im pretty satisfied with my headers I guess... Well not right now.

But no out outside the GP community hears of grand prixs with headers laugh laugh

For the amount of time, 9 hours is a long, tiring day of dealing with annoying bolts and tough install I guess, but this is really my first large exhaust job.

O wow, I just read the CGP thread on the speed daddy headers. Some say these ARE the OBX ones, which caused HUGE issues. Also says some people are having trouble with the bolt holes aligning with the head kooky

Guess it might be a huge scam after all.

Good luck to ya Ben.

Well I'm getting all new gaskets, and bolts so there shouldn't be an issue regarding that.

No point in getting new gaskets, Stock ones are the best. Better than felpro and the ones they give you. Just scuff them up

If anything, spend that money on copper RTV.
