Welds look good and they look like a quality header. Once I get them installed I will chime in letting you know about fitment and ease of installation

Please do let me know, i've got the money for the headers and it's burning a whole in my pocket. i just wanna make sure and do my research before i commit to buying.

I think I am gonna have to wait to install them. After inspecting them closely, it looks like they were damaged in shipping. One of the header tubes has a dent where it bends to go into the collector. Almost like a small crimp. Not bad but it is the only tube that has that dent so I dont think it is supposed to be there. Looks like they are gonna go back and make me wait another few days.

just the bolts? that's good to know. thanks for the info. looks like i've just decided on a christmas present for myself.

Hey Alain, if you want kooks cats for emissions/noise/smell that'll bolt up to these OBX, a user here will sell them for $200 shipped!

And we wonder why the manufacturing jobs are leaving?

Hope there is not too much radioactive metal in them, might cause cancer!
