Yuppers they bolted perfectly .... just get longer screws for the collectors-y-pipe. Had to get a 02 senser nipple welded in at the back drivers side header and a nice $20 bosch 02 senser Im getting great mileage, 16-17city so far

hey i have the same headers and they fit right in i didnt have to lift the motor or even unbolt my starter just the steering shaft and the headers dropped right in.The collector you need to get longer bolts like 1/2 longer at the most i had no problem wiht the y pipe it fits up good and perfect with perfect ground clearence.If i had to buy headers again i would go with hedman again.

Why would headers make ur tranny shift harder or hold out longer through the gears?

behold the magic powers of the header? Probably just the added power and the all powerful SOTP dyno.
