I really like my ARH and I watched them go in and they were a snap to put in for my mechanic and should pose you no problems, just get a tune for the O2s

Love them! Installed them with my son's help in in my garage with car on jackstands, took us about 5 days just working on it a couple hours a day. Everything went together pretty easily.

I have had them for a few years and have not had any problems with them. They were installed with my H/C package, so I cannot comment on the ease of installation.

I installed them myself,on a lift,but went in real easy. Love the sound a little deeper and nice power gain.

My 1 7/8 have been great and Nick at ARH is a great guy to deal with.

Patches, did you weld on the o2 bung in the x-pipe? I have a set of 1 7/8 headers with 3" mid pipes and they came with a provision for the o2 on the passenger side. Just wondering why the difference?

Thanks

I love the way mine sound. I just swapped from a cheap set of 1 3/4-2" collectors to ARH 1 7/8-3" collectors and a AR 3" X pipe. It sounds a lot cleaner and smoother!

Same here. Only a few hours and the ECS mechanic had me hooked up. Great sound and SOTP difference. I recommend you also get the black max tunnel plate to lessen the cabin heat.
