    we just put a set on this week, fit great, great quality, great welds, my only advice would be have the rear welded to avoid leaks, and the crossover will need to be cut and rewelded to line up right.

    they dont install themselves by any means, but an awsome buy and a great product for the money. i would recommend them.

    I've had them on since before Christmas. They work pretty well. As mentioned, they need to be modified some, unless OBX actually got the messages people have left them and have corrected the crossover orientation. You will also need to cut part of the front manifold flange off so that it fits (they used the same flange on the front and the rear, so the front has the EGR hole too). Get the Y welded to avoid leaks. And you will probably have to deal with the 3-bolt flange between the Y and the flex as it will probably hit the bottom of your car (at least mine does). I'm looking into getting the flanges cut off and replaced with a V-band flange/clamp set.

    Otherwise the SS AutoChrome (aka X-S Power) ones which are the SLP knockoffs are recommended as well and cost the same.
