Why did you spend the time to install and only drive 10 miles before removing them? Interested but would like to hear your thoughts first.

If he's in Cali, he probably didn't want to deal with smog test, I don't blame him, thats the only reason why I haven't pulled the trigger on a set of long tubes.

Good Luck with sale though

Search the forums, there are no issues with CEL issues on these. The oxygen sensors are relocated.
From my experience, system not ready occurs when battery is drained or disconnected and you don't drive at least 200 miles before attempting to do an emissions test.

why people selling FF again after some time !!!

These headers are good, but price for me personally is a little bit high for re sell, again I am saying my point of view and also i am saying "a little bit" which could be wrong !! 2100 could be good price if you consider that you don't have to wait and if you are really looking for set of good headers.

I installed FF Long tubes, but I made some modifications. If you trim the primaries back 3", the collector can still slide on all the way, and the O2 sensors will fit.

We ran the measurements through some header software (can remember the name) and the shorter length was actually closer to optimum on all cylinders. I also customized the collector by going to 3 inch diameter, but if 02 sensors are a concern, this is the trick. My fabricator said I should tell Chris (FF) to cut these shorter.. I didn't bother You can see how long these are after last bend!!

The other benefit to the shorter primaries: You don't have to make a violent turn to get into the X pipe. The FF headers are awesome, I just think they are better once modified.

I have seen some people complain of exhaust leaks with the slip on connector. This is nothing new to headers of this type, and neither is the fix. I applied gold 3M silicone (rated to 750 degrees) and it seals them up great. You can still remove the collector, just do it when hot, and knock them off. Great header.. and free bump


EDIT: When you trim back the primaries, you need to move the tabs. It was easy. Just FYI

Are these bolt-on or do they require welding/fabrication?

They are mostly bolt-on. Rear oxygen sensors need to be relocated so wires may need to be extended.
