Which is the front header?

I just got my AW headers, Thanks Excellerate!

They didn't come with any instructions but i've read here that the early AW's, the header with the lable is the rear and newer one's have them on the front. The headers I got have them on both. From what I can see, the difference is in the angle of the collector flange.

I'm putting them on now

Test fit them. You will see when you fit them flush if its meant for that spot or not, don't even need to bolt it down, just hold it so the flange is flush with the head.

I believe the one with the bent/indented pipe goes in the back.

The more bent one goes in the back, they look almost identical so compare them from a side profile.

Only the comptechs have the bend in the rear headers for the 6 speed.

You just have to test fit them. There is no visual way to tell other than the name plates, but since you don't know where its supposed to be, just test fit them.
