I REALLY like this set-up. For a street car, I feel that they flow every bit as good as aftermarket headers which seem to have hit-or-miss fitment and quality. Since they are OEM parts, quality and fit are perfect.

Compare these to their cat brothers and ask yourself which one should perform better:



By the way - I went to my local hardware store and bought a dozen M8 full thread bolts, and then cut off their bolt heads at home with a Dremel cut-off wheel in order to create studs. Cheap to do, supporting a local business, and perfectly acceptable for the need.
Very nice. Where did you find the heads? Ebay?

How did you torque the bolts? Double nut? Or did you cut off the head of the bolt after you torqued then to the block?
