A word of caution - I found that the top nut on the flange between header and downpipe was WELDED ON!! This was present on both sides. This car was bone stock when I bought it and there's no way the previous owner did this, so it very well may have come from the factory like that. If that's the case, you're in for a helluva time separating those in order to install your new downpipes.
