They will fit. At most, you may have to bend a pipe ( doesnt take much, just use your hands to bend it a little, its no biggy ), and thats worst case senario, so you will be fine with those headers either way, i know a couple guys on this board who own them and they say there great.

Those are megan racing headers... First of all they suck, second of all they suck, and third of all they suck. Unless you do what I did and chop it up with oem parts, then it works great...

I bought those damn megans and figured out the flex pipes are the causes for the exhaust sound. So I welded the stock flex pipe on there and it works great. But if you are going to just run them the way they are, they SUCKK!!!

dam guys,.. he doesnt have to get comptechs. Listen, to the gentalmen who is looking for headers, Try to find alphawerks headers. Rezurex has them and they DO work Great. Dont spend your 1000 on comptechs headers when you could save alot and purchase Alphas that do the same shit, regardless of what anyone else says. Ive seen Comptechs and alpha werks side by side ( alphas were proto's at the time ) and they are very similar in quality ( comptech still has it by some though ) but they work, and work great. Rez made almost 20 whp from his headers.

Stick with Comptechs. Sometimes you can find a pair used for a good price too.

The bottom line is, when it comes to headers anything but comptech SUCKS! Dont brainwash the guy into buying cheap shit. I did it and had to chop that basterd to make it run "normal" not even right, just "normal". Comptech owns when it comes to headers, just save up for it... Good luck

-Board member purchases AW headers from group buy.
-Headers end up not fitting, leaking, having crazy resonance, and just a whole bunch of issues.
-Apparently a portion of the piping got warped or something of the sort causing them to not fit.
-Board member tries to return the headers on AW warranty but is only able to get them "repaired" and "remachined" from Nexus Industries.
-I guess they still don't work...

i have the megans.
they fit great.
i got them jet-hot coated.
i had some rattling...it was the heat shield on the cat converter.
i had some resonance...i header wrapped the 2 flex joints..no more resonance.
