It is good idea. Why you cant stand no cat? Ha. But try torch to heat and hammer light to bend.

Screw both of them, come get in on the stainless works group purchase... At any rate, take your pick on a header, I doubt from your spot, point now you will be able to tell a difference between any one of them... I thought you want to go turbo.. Headers is a no go on the turbo..

get the obx and be done with it. Yes you will gain power, no there will be no steering shaft issues. $500 and it's every bit as good as the $1200 headers out there.

Or get in on the SW gp and spend 681 for some headers that fit, you won't have to zip tie the plug wires to keep them from getting burned and you can avoid the other problems that have been reported with the OBX. The reason I don't want the OBX is because of the driver side header and the primary tube that bends up and over then down. It seems pointless to me, and I don't believe that it is the same length as the rest of the primaries.

budhayes had fitment issues with the SW's. NO brand of headers is immune to some sort of issues since there is always variances from the vehicle they originally designed the headers around. No matter what you end up doing, one universal truth in my opinion is to go with a full stainless steel system. It may cost more, but in the long run it will actually save you money.

Yeah I dont mind to buy cheap header or a used for now. Enjoy for a while until money save up for turbo I still look forward with turbo someday. All I need do step and step like buy fuel pump, injector, etc before i able ready to buy turbo once together and play.
