Default Popped my header cherry.

This is nothing for most of you, but i finally know what its like to have headders.

Its awesome! This is MY first vehicle that ive put headders on.

The sound is amazing, deep, throaty, muscle car like.

Just leaving the driveway easy i could feel the extra power down low.

Im very impressed with these Ebay OBX headders.

Fit and finish was excelent. Plenty of clearence every where. Extra bungs for wideband also.

Im serious, i would expect these to cost more, ive bought expensive stuff before that wasnt as nice as these are

The only thing that i didnt care for like others was the gaskets and u bolts, other than that these are perfect. I used the stock gaskets and band clamps.

The worst part was the ARP bolts i bought from summit, Those idiots sent me the wrong size!!!

I was dreading install, but it was a piece of cake by myself. Lots more room and easier to get to the plugs than the stock manifolds IMO.

Best part was i got a 5% coupon and only paid 285 shipped!

Its dark, pics tomorrow.

Cool deal Tim, glad that you're stoked about them...glad that the install went smoothly also. So what did you use for header bolts, re-use the stockers?

I bought them at my local parts store.
The clamp they had was a 2.5-3'' adjustable. Only thing they had, and i didnt feel like driving another 20 min to the better parts store, but i will tomorrow.
