cheap headers suck...you get what you pay for with headers....
cheap headers have crappy thin flanges that will warp over time, no coating on the thin tubes will lead to rust holes in a few years...usually cheap headers dont fit worth a crap either

Go to summit and see if their headers will fit your year. I got a set for my truck and they fiy fine, just had to move the y-pipe back just a tad so it fit. Only thing, srip the paint on themand repaint, ance I started it up the paint just peeeeled off, not thrie just bare metal! Onbter than that I'm happy.

Hey! Hedman makes some pretty good quality for a cheap price. You can get cheap ones for about 150$ made by hedman. Go to Summit.com and buy them from them cause they usually got the best prices

I also bought the summit headers, but when i got them they had pacesetter welded on them. The pacesetter brand was $50 more so i was a little confused. I made sure that all the welds looked good (they did) and after stripping the cheap paint and applying coats of header paint it was a fairly easy install. The only problem I had was hooking up the egr valve tube, (I forgot to had tighten it before I installed them!) But I just didnt worry about that useless thing. They work fine, and sound great.
