RE: Headers....Worth a shot....or POS!?
I do believe that I might just have to comender me a set also. I just didnt want it to be super loud cause the law around here a husy on people who even slightly modify unless they like the car, they like mine, and it looks stock but it anit, but they will still give you grief.

I would bet that they are all made by the same company, regardless of the stamp on the side, or lack there of, mine were bought from e-bay off brand, fitment was as good as any i have seen, you will want to remove the studs from the heads to install them then reinstall the studs, the fitent is tight enough to want to save yourself some grief, dont try to just slide the headers over the studs it is just a pain, remove the studs and have fun, takes about 1.5hours if youtake your time. not a lot more noise,but a better exhust note

.The only thing that bugs me is i saw no need to remove studs for jba headers and it was'nt much of a struggle just to loosen the exhaust a tad..

1.5 hrs??? the GTs take about 4-5 minimun to change the headers on? I know its not the same but i cant believe it would be that fast unless you have access to a lift and a very good set of tools

i put mine on and they slid nicely over the studs with our removal. removing them is a real pain and a waste of time the only hard part on that install is the collectors due to tight space other then that its super easy

Hey Sancho, Pypes = Generic SS shorties.. Same string of chineese factories make em all... And i think they also make the JBA's too as i had a set side by side and bought the generics and have no issues. the only gotcha is whether they are 301, 321 or 421 stainless. different grades = different heat stability and rust issues......321 is better for rust...421 better for high heat F/I issues...
