I do not have their headers, but you can't go wrong with CustomTR parts. A very reputable and progressive vendor. ALL of their products are top notch and he takes great pride in selling only the best.

I brought the TR headers a couple of weeks ago. I haven't had a chance to install them yet, but they look great, are made from a heavy gauge stainless, come with top quality gaskets, high quality v-band clamps, and are port matched out of the box.

This is coming from someone who brought, spent some time porting, coating, and subsequently selling ATR style eBay headers.

Mark's stuff is on the money and to echo the above statement, I would not hesitate to purchase any product Mark sells.

Running them on my own GN Just remember you need a downpipe for aftermarket headers. The pipe has to sweep out more towards the fenderwell for clearance to the crossover pipe on these headers. Crossover on these start almost near the turbo flange. Plenty of pics on my site.

As long as the pipe is out towards the fenderwell it SHOULD be OK, can't guarantee it though. Look at the pics on our site to see if your pipe is in the same location.

I know Mark Hueffman, and if he is running them on his personal car, they have to be spot on...

Why dont you just sell your current DP and upgrade to the new 3.5in unit hes putting out... or his 3in unit... just a thought?
