Yes they'll fit. It's just recommended (not necessary) to upgrade the nuts, bolts, and gaskets that come with these headers. Other than that, they're about as good as Comptechs.

Other mods:
UR Pulley
Intake
Thermoblok Spacers

Well they are not as good as Comptech's. They do fit (not as well as Comptech's do) and they do give similar gains but the quality isn't the same. The welds aren't as nice, the runners don't always align well, there is not a 3 yr warranty, and they are not CARB approved. Also you get a wooshing sound with the XS power ones b/c of the cheap flex pipe. They are sold at a great price and do actually fit so it's a good buy but they aren't Comptech quality.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. You get about the same results as the CTs. If you pay a fraction of the cost of the CTs, you shouldn't expect the same quality, but that should go without saying.

These headers are great. Go for it! Just get better bolts and try not to use the ones provided with the kit.

There are several threads on these. Do a search on XS Power headers and you'll find tons of posts by many happy members that have them.

Why are you still here after being exposed and still post whoring? Seriously you lied about the Volkswagen, I wouldn't doubt you don't have a CL either.
