anymore people got installed pics of thses?
hey guys
I got my JDM motors ebay headers installed today.
The headers fit the heads and block great with no problems at all. the only problem that i ran into was the bottom bolt on the middle tube on the pass side header is entirely too close to the tubes. so a little bit of massaging with a hammer to clearance the tube and it fit using a 3/8 header bolt in that hole.
The cross over fits very good no modding there. The only problem that i have is there is a small leak where the cross over pipe slips together. but thats nothing a band clamp can't fix.
Now the THDP will fit bit you will need a hott wrench to heat up the pipe and dent in the side of the pipe to get it to clear the crossover. OR you can just get a 1/2 inch spacer to go between the turbo and the downpipe.
I just chose to clearance the DP since the pipe has had some other clearnace issues before that had to be pounding out
i will take pics of it tomorrow.
Also i'm going to take some back pressure reading with the new headers to see if changing the headers has made a diffrence in the pre-turbine back pressure.
I have noticed a big difference in the tip-in response on the throttle.
Yeah the headers now have a nice blue tint to them at the flanges and a really nice bronze color every where else.
you really can't go wrong with them. i gave 189 buck plus shipping and that was like 28 bucks
mine are still working, no leaks. etc.. but i wish i had spent the money on the TA's .. due to the slight turbo cocked on my set..
How is everyone's Ebay Headers doing? Any cracks? cant get them to seal? Well I've had it with the ones on my Gold T, so I took them off and welded up the old stockers and put them back on. Its Quiet as a mouse and I got my low end torque back. I've been to the muffler shop too many times trying to make them work. They leaked a little too much and it was enough to drive me crazy
Anyone else?

for what?
