Got it from Top speed pro 1 last week. $1700 shipped to my door. Can not wait to put it on. Does anyone ever used this? Wondering if they are direct bolt on, or need to weld it to the stock pipe.

Couple of points.

1. Aligning all the pipes with the merge collector to get a leak proof fit is going to be very hard
2. If your car is lowered pay close attention to how low the merge collectors hang.
3. After a couple of heat cycles you will have to check of leaks and align the pipes and merge collectors again.

They should have put a flex-pipe in

Thanks for the Tip. Will make sure I do that. Will be taking it to muffler shop to install it for me.

They look like the EC LT headers. Looking on their web page pics of the LT headers.

I just found these today, and was about to post to see if anyone had any experience with them. Looks like I'll be keeping an eye on this.
Please post back with your experiences.

Can the collector be welded on? That would fix any future leak issues

That's my plan to do just that, but will let the exhaust shop make the decision.

Just look at the supersprint prices and then look at these. Nuff said.

First off were you Casper the toe nail ghost for valentine?

Second how come the middle two primaries look like they they aren't in line? Are they also slip on?

Yup. I have a quote sitting in my email for 5 sets.

OP let us know how they fit! I wouldn't mind bringing in a dozen sets for cheap if they work well for you.

Hope these don't require extending the O2 sensor.

Good luck with the install.

They're not quite that cheap (unless maybe you buy ten of them). The best price I've seen is $1200-1400

And how much are these going for? I still think is the same LT headers EC have on their web page as well.

You guys are talking to the wrong seller... trust me they can be had for 879 + shipping.

All it takes is a bit of bantering (even if they dont like it) for instance I suggested these are to suit a left hook car. Mine is right hook so I cant be sure they'd fit. So this is why im only getting one.

Look im a SS welder myself and id struggle to get the materials and make them for that myself. Which is why im not concerned if I have to modify them a bit.
