There are inherent design flaws such as the less than perfect 4-1 collector.

With that said, for $217 there is NO REASON AT ALL to buy anything less than ZZP headers for more money.
These will install WITHOUT ISSUE. At the most you can upgrade the to band clamps on the crossover.

To pay 3x more money for THIS SET OF HEADERS with the flex moved to the downpipe is ludicrous.

Did you mock these up on an engine to check fit? When I installed my SD headers, I had issues with the crossover being at the right location and angle to meet the front and rear manifold.

Thanks for the pics.

I personally have had better luck with the Frozenboost clamp on the front, and a regular band clamp on the back.

Also, I remember when my headers were that nice and clean.

Can't wait to see the write-up.

Fits perfectly.

Any pics of the mockup?

Alright, cool. Because one of the big issues with these headers that is inconsistent is the fit.

so your not replacing the 1 5/8ths primary's for 1 3/4, cutting apart and rewelding the front merge to fix the horrible primary entry angles. your also not cutting off the 4 to 1 merge to fix those sweet primary entry angles.

all your doing is reworking the DP?

shoot i woulda at least went fer the OBX headers and at least ended up with something worth putting the work into if all yer gonna do is the DP reworking....

i did notice no where near as many OBX listings on ebay and it seems they are now the almost the same price as genuine pacesetters just in stainless

at least then all ya gotta do is weld the rear header, Y and Xover together...and maybe replace the 3 bolt flange with a V band

then at least youll have headers worth the effort

Great idea nick! Haters gonna hate. Just jelly they didnt think of it first. Vouch for Nick hes a good guy.
Donated. I already have headers on the car but i could use these due to the fact i didnt fix my downpipe befor i put them on the car. Now there is a nice dent in the downpipe.

Food for thought Nick. How about the possibility of welding in another bung at the suggested angle for a wideband and just throwing in a plug if the winner does not need it.
