Search the tech forum. There's different opinions, some have them, some have had problems with install and others ended up returning them.

im looking into headers myself but im staying away from these..if you do a search for those obx headers or ebay headers theres some good feedback i grant you..but far and away there are tons of bad feedback its just a crapshoot with welds breaking and fitment issues and the like id save a couple more hundred dollars and get a quality pair like lg's or american racing headers.my .02
by the way you shouldnt post the same question in different posts within a few minutes.gotta give us time to answer the questions like i answered you this morning
