the only brand I know that did not require belly trimming is the pfadt and they can only be aquired used. You still might find someone who never installed them on the web though.

I would look at the following I listed them kind of in price order. From what I have read these are all perfect fitment other thant he belly pan which is plastic and the area cut does not affect aero or cooling enought to really worry about.

1. ARH
2. KOOKS
3. STAINLESS WORKS
4 STAINLESS POWER

they all can be coated so that is not an issue.


I went stainless power will install monday they are supposed to fit perfect. some people seem to have issue with not

A. buying all USA MADE
B. not spending over 1k on headers


one reason to spend the extra money if you want 2" tubes and are shooting to the moon power wise. anybody who thinks that extra $500 on headers is money spent in the right place on a modest build like mine is fooling themselves IMO as that 500 towards other mods would make more power. I don't get into the us vs china debate anymore outsourced manufacturing is just the way things work now. If a product has good quality is what I care about.

If I had lofty goals I would have spend the extra coin on kooks or ARH for 2" tubes.
