I'm still not sure how this could be "no prob". I wouldn't be surprised if there was still some sort of modification to the downpipe involved, as others in the past have curiously omitted the fact that their "perfect fitment" required it.

I had the DC sports headers on my car (which are basically the same design) and they required modification of the downpipe, and even then it was a tight fit.

didn't you end up taking the headers off and sticking w/ the stock manifolds?

When Install those headers show the fitment is not a problem. But when you start driving the car, you will feel there are alot of vibration. It has a tight fit and when the car is moving...it will rubs against the down pipe.
