ahh.... hmmz so now this brings up lots questions. d350z10, jsut curious how was your powerband with these headers? did it kill downlow and mid and get great right at the top? or did it fatten out the power band? or maybe could you post your dyno so that we can compare how the power band looks compared to the other TN kits? oh and the down pipe, was it completely custom...? or did you have to just modify the one that TN gives you?

oh and the install on the headers will probably be done at my friends store, or at my friends house. all mechanics that are more than capable to do the install for me.

I believe the reason aftermarket headers arent suggested is because most aftermarket headers are made from 304 stainless which cant stand up to the heat of a turbo so over time will crack. Like the PE stainless exhaust manifolds. I believe thickwalled 321 stainless would be required for longevity.

Hmm... wow. I thought I remember you stating that they fit "perfectly".

BHK1004 - You know I stated that I thought they would fit the other day due to this, but after reading what is involved in getting them fitting, I don't think they'd be worth it. I'd say sell them and put that towards the cost of going with the stage 1.5 kit.
