Don't buy cheap Chinese headers, you get what you pay for...save up some cash & get a set of Kooks or American Racing headers which will fit well & are made with quality materials

No those will not. Looks like cheap knock offs of Kooks headers.

For $200 somebody has to be the guinea pig. Not much lost if they have to go in the trash because they don't fit. Great bargain if they do. Caveat Emptor.

if your going for budget headers go with Speed Engineering, their the only ones with a damn at a lower price point. That being said the quality is pretty great for a budget header.

I bought those “no name” brand headers and returned them because I couldn’t find an x pipe to fit properly. The headers themselves didn’t look much different than the speed engineering one’s I have right now.

Whichever headers you choose be sure and get their x-pipe.If not,you will be in for a challenge to get anything to line up corectly.Speed Engineering are about the only offbrand I would consider.Mine fine well with no issues.

I’ve yet to install my speed engineering headers, but the x pipe comes in pieces with the kit I have. Might make it a bit easier to line everything up? It even comes with the 2.5” end to fit a “stock”catback” or in my case straight pipes.

My suggestion would be to get better clamps for the Speed Engineering setup.The included clamps are,shall I say,less than optimal.
