Long Tube Headers.
I posted this on G35driver.com as well.
Will the OBX long tube headers made for 03-06 non HR motors fit our HR heads and bolt up. I have read that a certain combo of old 03 headers with 03 cats will fix later cars. Since the long tube is both, it may work. Or is some modifying of the header able to be done. This option seems like the ype of header worth using. Comments, input please.

I think the fitment problem you'll run into is the headers not clearing the steering knuckle
the main problem though is you prolly won't gain any power... cheap parts typically don't work... but if you do go though with this, get a before and after dyno...

I've had other cars where the header that made the most power was a PACESETTER. A long tube header of a bad design will probly still make more power than a shorty connected to the stock cat. I just wondered if anyone knew if it fits.

SG said he's gonna start working on HR headers when the DE are completely done and in production. The DE headers aren't in production yet, so that means the HR headers haven't even been started yet...

i talked to the guy from that site... they have them, but they were telling me that i still needed to buy a test pipe. is that right? i thought that long tube headers had the test pipes included?

really? that's unfortunate. i've just always disliked the idea of shorty headers and testpipes, more can go wrong with the flanges and gaskets and smaller things between the headers/tp's. maybe i'll just bite the bullet and pick up some longtubes.
