Got a response this morning, said they will honor the 110 ebay price + shipping. Good stuff, i've read that the bolts and gaskets that come with the set are crappy. What are you guys going to use?

Just ordered mine a few minutes ago, $125 shipped. If I use the comptech header install tutorial, will that work? Anybody know the best way to get some directions for these? Thanks.

Install went very well except had to take the torch out for a bolt. Everything fit right, no rattleing or hissing. No problems for me. a bit of air going thru at lower rpms around 2-3k other then that almost sounds like a G35! Best mod for the buck in my book.

Got mine installed yesterday for 120 bucks. So far I have had no issues. No resonance, no whistling through the pipes. Feels good on the freeway. I have to take it back in 400-500 miles to have my bolts retorqued because from what my mechanic said they didnt quite line up all the way.
Pretty nice mod for 223 bucks.

You can re-use the gasket that goes between the header and the cylinder head. My advise is to use 10x30 mm stainless steel bolts and nuts for the header and a-pipe connection. Also, use locking type washers in conjuction w/ the bolts. I installed mine this past weekend and using 10x30 mm bolts help align the header to a-pipe.

Ok so im taking my car to the shop friday morning to finally install my headers. Can someone give me a complete detail list of what I need to get and replace before the install and where I can them from?. Thanks, I really dont want any annoying issues with the car after install so i want to prevent them now.

The only gaskets you would need is the manifold to head gaskets. (i reused mine, most people did this) the only bolts that may be hard to get off are the ones on the cat". That's all you need. Re-use your stock manifold gaskets instead of the ones they give you and replace all the bolts with the above. Reuse the manifold nutz. They're great headers! I've had mine for about a year now on my TL and LOVE them.
