Did you guys modify the driver side header flange, or just bend the dipstick to fit around the flange?

It was a monster....had to bang on the headers a bit to fit the factory K on the passenger side....definitely not for the faint of heart...but they look great! Still don't have my car back and I added a whipple so not much use there for numbers.

Thats not bad...i think at the time i bought mine the armored header was $350 and the x was $180..so that sounds right. shipping was super quick.

My96z I will...should be talking to him tonite...hopefully wednesday will get car weather permitting.

Im on the fence between these or Mac's/x-pipe from lethal. This will settle it, how is the clearance on the trans? Gonna be any problems getting it out with these headers? Any pics? My car has a JW bell and a C4 but I know from other guys with my setup that the mac's will clear. If the t56 will clear I should be ok.

Bronze coating came out great.

I gotta say though, these headers have got to feature some of the worst welds I have ever seen. I repaired a few.

Will the welds interfere with clearance? I am thinking about these but I am curious if they will not be a pain in the butt for Fastlane to install in Benson, NC.

Hey guy's I'm looking into getting a set of these. I am wanting to know about the O2 sensor bungs. It looks like there is one on each collector. I will need an extra one for my wide band.
