I have not contacted them yet as I am waiting to figure out if there is a problem with the headers also and then I am going to address the problem with them. This has turned into a very expensive mod. I really wish I had just gone with the pacesetters and I probably will because they have a 3" collector and the stainless is only a 2 1/2".

I have contacted them three times now because my pasanger side header and frame are trying to occupy the same space.... they do make a good product (the tig welded 304ss is top).. just absolutely horrible customer service. You have me nervous about thier cats now too

the drivers side clears by about a 1/8th inch if that at all.. so any space I get on the passanger side.. I lose on the drivers side

wow, that's horrible. That's worse than the OBX headers. I have roughly 1/8" on the passenger side and 1/4" on the driver's side. Have you tried bending the header?

Like a fool I had them sent right from SSW to get ceramic coated inside and out before I saw them.. So I would think bending them in any way would just shatter that coating. What pissed me off is that there is **** tons of room on the inside of the header so they could have angled it better

Right now I'm so tempted. SSW gave me a good deal. The headers and cat pipe and full dual cat back were only 1600 shipped... I kinda wish they spent a couple hundred of my dollars in R&D.

There's no point in keeping them if they aren't going to fit. And to get the header to fit you will destroy the finish. I personally dont see much point in coating SS headers. Under hood temps with my OBX's is no different than stock. I'd say get OBX or Dynatech headers.
