    Those are the OBX headers, they need the cross over modified to fit over the trans, and the trans has to have a chunk taken out of the casing for the cross over to bolt to the front header. Also you need to weld the y-pipe or it will leak. I had those headers, big problems from them from day one. I now have Speed Daddy's and never would go back.

    no modifications to what would be left of the stock exhaust. i'm pretty sure i have the same ones, or at least a different knock off. had to take a chunk out of the trans case, and the downpipe needs cut, and the collector will need sealed hardcore. looking back now, i woulda bought diferent ones

    Well there are a few things you could do. 1) call the seller and see if you can get a refund. 2) pay over $200 to get them installed. 3) take the hit, buy speed daddy's, and try to sell those. 4) find someone that can do the modifications to help you out. I would first see if you could send them back. I have never tinkered with these headers, but i've heard bad things. A little research goes a long way. Speed daddy's are about as direct fit you can get for $200. spend maybe another ~$40 on clamps and you have shiny new headers.

    i agree with tu8i107. i got the sme ones you did. sell them.... i was going to get a shop to do it he priced it at 400.00 even. i ended up doing it myself and ran into alot of problems.nothing lined up had to do alot of cutting and rewelding. this will save you a headache.
