Are you guys running catless? I have an x pipe and I just need headers that'll fit. Are the pipes that would attach to the x/ h pipe/ over axle pipe all the same size?

What type of x pipe did you get? One that is meant to clamp up behind the factory cats on one from a header manufacture? If you bought one that is designed to go behind the factory cats then you arent going to find headers to fit it without modifications most likely.

And in this case, I got a lot for what I paid. Do yourself a favor and check them out before you make a choice.
Good luck!

I ended up buying Jet Hot's steel headers, coated inside and out. They have been on for right at 7 years now and still look brand new. I paid $647 shipped and that price is hard to beat. See sig for HP figure.
