I bought these but can't install them for awhile since we are moving. The inside of one of the primaries looked fairly clean but the other looked like it will need to be cleaned up inside. About what I was expecting at this price. I would post pics but they are at my buddies until we move. Oh and the eBay seller said they will fit my 6 speed.

We are moving this weekend but will try to post an update within a few weeks. Sorry for the delay
Though my car is getting some paint work done this week which I am pretty excited about. I thought I could live with the blemishes that came with it but I am too OCD.

Hey Vaymoon, when you had these installed was there any problem of them clearing the drive shaft? I ordered some this past week and then wouldn't clear the motor mount unless i removed it, then the down pipe didn't clear the drive shaft, similar experience? ever heard of this?

I finally installed the headers I bought from SRS Tuning via eBay (see details above). The fit was perfect for my 6 speed. My friends and I were also impressed with the quality. I didn't measure the openings but I have some pics if anyone is interested.
The install took about 4.5 hours but it was mostly related to getting the original exhaust out. Once that was done the headers were in in less than an hour. Unbelievable mod for $200!

I can confirm with Ponto. The SRS headers did fit! I had to remove the rear mount to get them on and they were slightly off on the alignment with the down pipe connecting to the the bottom of the front header. But in the end it still worked. Deff feel the difference!

Here's some pics. They fit like a glove. Offer $200 shipped (160 + 40 for shipping), and the seller will take it. You can't beat this for $200 flat.
Clearance for rear motor mount, as you can see there's plenty.
OEM Flex Pipe had had enough.
Front
Engine bay needs cleaning bad (and a battery cover *cough* donations wecome *cough*). No, those aren't zip ties holding my catch can to my strut brace .

Mine have been fine after 4 months. However last week I started hearing a leak. I have torqued everything back down and it is better, but there is still something small. Thinking it may be a gasket but I haven't narrowed down which one.

Nice. I just bidded a fair amount and got accepted today! It'll be a while til I put it on though, I'll be waiting after my MT swap to do so which shouldn't be too far along down the road. Just a few more parts and it's go time!

Does anyone have a contact number for XS Power or SSAutochrome? I have been trying to order my headers for a month now. Last I heard was that they're in production and I have a 6spd so I need one with that bend to clear the rear motor mount. I'm getting tired of waiting.

SRS Tuning was very responsive and worked with me in case they didn't fit they were standing by to return them.
Go with SRS..

Well.. i got mine today! Quality and welds aren't bad at all. Except one little thing, they sent 2 exhaust manifolds and left out the intake. It's all getting sorted out so no worries!

There is no bend on those to clear a 6speed rear mount and the merge on the J pipe doesn't look very good. it hits the other pipe dead on when it should curve towards the rear of the car more before merging.

what do you mean? What's pictured is was is supposed to be there. 2 exhaust manifold and the J pipe. No one makes intake manifolds.

the rear header won't fit. it was a mishap on shipping and they accidentally shipped both front manifolds rather than 1 of each. but all is well and is being corrected in the process

Personally i wouldnt want those. The 2 flex joints are there so that the crappy alignment wont be an issue, and its one more thing to fail sooner
