Just a suggestion, but have you checked out XSPower headers?

Hmmmm some people love them and some people had fitment problems. I have OBX on a few car trucks and there really nice qualty the welds and finish are outstanding. I've seen Kooks, BBK, JBA, XS and some of those more expensive headers look and fit like crap. It seems to be more of a gamble with headers most being made over in china from one plant to another this is the truth who ever bids the cheapest that year gets the contract. Sad but true.
Buy the OBX and have some extra cash in your pocket.

OBX changed manufacturers not long ago. When they did that people started having problems. I have put on alot of XS systems on and never had a problem with them. I have had a set on mine for 4 years.
