Anybody with JVT headers?
Alright.. so I'm in the process of getting rid of my XS Power Headers because it's making my whole exhaust/muffler shake (cause of the modded flex pipe). I'm looking for alternative headers that don't have any problems and that's less than $200. And these are the only ones I can find via eBay.. Searched the thread and heard good reviews on these but I've never came upon anyone here that has actually bought them, installed, and ran with them on. So anybody here have any experience with these headers?
I realize that the newer headers nowadays have been revised with 2 flex pipes instead of one. i think i'm either gonna choose between the megans, dc sports, or jvt.

Also you wont find an alternative header for 200 bucks thats better. Find what your problem is.

Modded flex pipe as in the original flex pipe was cut off and welded on with a straight pipe, thus causing the whole exhaust to be unable to "flex".. it's very stiff under the car right now.. I loosened all the bolts as stated by jjashaa.. and then retightened them down with a torque wrench @ 14lbs each. the flex pipe is there for a reason.. and that's to reduce engine shaking.. but yes.. i will agree that headers will not go for that cheap unless it's used.. so i might be thinking of keeping these and just paying the extra to get the flex pipe welded back on. thanks for responding though.

, maybe, just maybe get a new flex pipe section welded in, that is actually flexable
, so it can't shake the rest of the exhaust
