XS-P Headers
Ordered the XS power headers last night will be my second power mod Just wondering on a scale 1-10 how difficult is it getting the rear manifold off?

did mine in car. rear isnt bad. need a long extension to get a couple of the lower bolts. you can get most from the top though. make sure you leave it all loose and bolt down pipe on then tighten the manifolds to heads. mine didnt quite line up but i kinda forced it together and it got positioned into place.

Had no idea these would be shipping from China! I read another thread on here but cant seem to find it but someone was saying I should use different hardware for the bolts cause their cheap, does anyone know the size? I should have them on Tuesday

I bought mine years ago and the bolts that came with it were a size smaller in diameter than the holes in the collector flange. Like a 8mm bolt for a 10mm hole. It's been too long ago to remember what size they were but I had some in my box of extra bolts that fit perfect. If yours fit right, there's no reason not to use them.

so I know there is no using the factory bolts should I just use the ones that came with the headers? also which gasket should go with OEM or the new one with the headers?

First thing i am going to say is whoever thinks using the china crap hardware is a moron! whoever reads this and wants to install headers on their car GO GET NEW HARDWARE! so after about 6 hours i got em installed and it is a 2 person job cant do this by yourself. The part that took us so long I stripped a rear heat shield bolt and after trying to get it off with a gator grip socket(which is a piece of junk) it just rounded it even more so last resort was to cut it off with a dremel. after that everything was a breeze. now putting everything back together was simple just retrace your steps and keep everything loose until it all bolt have been put back in and then tighten everything back up. oh and if you can spray PB blaster on everything its a time saver! After getting everything back installed of course had to taker the car for a rip first thing i noticed it is more of a linier modification not something that will throw back in your seat but i cant feel a difference in acceleration so i am happy with this mod just wish i should have went with my instinct and got new hardware

these used to be 130 shipped
Must be a decent product if the pricetag has doubled in the past few years.....I see Manzo headers on ebay for 130 shipped but will they fit the 6 speed? .....and anyone know how the quality is?and for twice the cost id probably get the tried n true (xspower) anyways.

yeah i found obx headers for around 400$. they look a little better but is it worth the extra $? doubt it. lol i already want a sulercharger....just dont want to have to mess with tuning etc etc.....so 4" intake and headers for now....
