I’ve been running a set for three years now. Fitment was perfect, no issues so far.

Quiet a bit of info on here about these. Lots of ppl run them and are happy with them. The fitment seems to be really good and quality is also very nice considering they are a Chinese steel. Honesty for the price I personally think they are hard to beat. I’m considering ordering a set myself

I was going to give them a chance and hope for the best but when the time came the x pipe was on backorder for a month. With all the shipping horror stories going around I decided to see how cheap I could find ARH, found s good enough price and they were at my door within a few days. Just got the car back and I will say if you have NPP you will be happy. I was a little concerned it wouldn’t be loud enough but it is.

Lol I wasn't clear. I meant the ARH. I'm still really interested in the speed engineering ones also, but don't want to wait either.

Actually. Now that I think about it, nothing is getting installed until summer for me so maybe I should just order the speed engineering set

I ordered the speed engineering headers, x pipe and axle back exhaust. Took about 3 months to get but I'm really happy with the quality and fitment. I didn't get any of their "options". I bought exhaust manifold gaskets, stainless bolts, and O2 sensor extensions on my own.

I've built my own exhaust systems on my last three cars and I always Tig weld everything. The speed engineering stuff is all tig welded with good penetration. The heat range on the welds look spot on. The header flanges we're welded on the inside and outside of the flanges (much better). The x pipe is a good quality piece.

Overall, you can't beat $750 for headers and an exhaust on these cars. If I had to do it over again, I would definitely buy them again.
