Has anyone had luck with these??? Can't beat under 400 bucks for headers, extenders, and catless pipes!!

Just remember, you get what you pay for. Nickey Performance uses Kooks because they are flawless, stainless steel pieces of art. Just my .02 cents. It's the way I'm going and saving for them.

I had them on my SS for about a year had no issues, fitment was great. You could spend a little more and get Texas Speed headers for better quality but for the money you can't beat them.

I about crapped myself when I saw the cost of the speed headers. I researched them to death and couldnt find a SINGLE bad thing said about them from anyone who had them installed or seen them in person. The Only bad thing I could find said about those was "you get what you pay for" from guys who spent $1k-$2k for their high end headers.
Long story short I felt good about them myself and I bought a set. Ill be happy to let you know the quality when they arrive next week. |

i am getting ready to click the button, but will prob waiti until I get the 1st parts installed the JRE 75 kit and Rotofab CAI. For that price if it can be done with jack stands and floor jacks i am one step closer to the 125 kit

I bought these headers and couldn't be happier. Fitment was great not a single issue. I reused the stock manifolds gaskets and didn't use the paper ones that came with it. For the price they are worth it.

I want to pull the trigger on these too... the only issue is I live in Massachusetts, and not having cats fails inspection. I need to find compatible high flow cats to go with these and then I am golden. Anyone have any links to high flow cats that will fit these?

Call Texas speed and order their high flow cats, that's what I used. They fit perfectly but they'll be about $300 so you'll only have $550-$600 in a set of stainless headers with high flow cats. ![]() 2012 Ashen Gray ZL1 M6 #574

I like mine, and yes you can install them without a lift. I did mine laying on the ground in my garage. Mess with the front clamps so they don't wrinkle the connection to the cats like mine did. It's not the end of the world if it does, I fixed mine already. Overall they are great and you can't beat the price

I couldn't be happier with my Speed Engineering headers. They fit like a glove. No reason to pay more for stainless steel tubes. The off road connections look like cats, if you are a concerned about visual inspection in your state. In Texas the emissions test is just a quick plug into the OBD port to check for codes. Get a tune and you won't throw a code.
