    be aware that if the previous owner tightened down the flanges on those headers really tight then they are probably tweaked and are now an oval instead of a circle. they tend to deform when tightened down too much and then not seal correctly even with a nicely placed donut gasket. check out the flanges before you buy, you've been warned. this is why i sold my used set of TOGs for a new set of headers.

    Ill also ask for pics of flanges thanks bio.
    we were txting last night and he says he will take lots of pics and says he doesn't want to screw me over, they are coming off a gtp with a blown tranny. if they are warped is their any way of making them seal? $100 for headers specially togs is a steel.

    yeah, you can probably work them back into round with a vice or something i'm sure.

    does this come with a downpipe that's ready to bolt in? typically the TOG downpipe is a shorty 3" pipe that you'll have to weld onto the catback somewhere.

    so what are the chance my 2.5'' downpipe can connect with these togs? It would be alot cheaper then having to have a new downnpipe welded to my stock cat.

    ya them and zzp also has them, Im not getting the togs, they have a warped flange that i cant afford to fix, AND buy a down pipe for the togs AND get the downpipe welded etc. just gets costly.

    found a ceramic coated plog 3 months old for cheap. gonna bolt that on and get the topswap done, with colder plugs,180tstat,plog, 2.5'' downpipe it should be safe on that with overkills incar tune. I just dont have the budget to afford headers and have install fitment/leak issues. Ill worry about that next summer.
    now to start looking for/buying gaskets, coolant elbows, fluids, fuel lines, new bolts, belts, vac lines...lol and people say topswaps are cheap

    Are you porting the heads while they are off? The plog should be fine with the stock pulley. You might actually be able to drop to a smaller pulley depending on your tune.

    You can p&p the heads yourself there is a thread about it somewhere and if done even halfways decent you'll have good gains from it.

    cause its a good starting point to start modding,when i get a better job(im a commercial truck driver but need more experience for better paying job) I can start real mods to it, but since i got the topswap for free might as well save up money for the correct gasket bolts etc & slap it on. lwe all know modding the n/a hits a wall hp wise.

    Just smooth everything out and make the exhaust port a little bigger but keep the d shape of the port.
