Also, like previous posts mention, get yourself a set of Denso 02 senors because the ones currently on your car usually they get welded in place, and will break when trying to remove them. If you need a set, I have some extras in the classified section. You may get away with not needing them, but if your car is on the lift and all taken apart and they break, you're at the mercy of a dealer who charges an arm and a leg for them.
I would interested in those O2 sensors if I get these headers. I'm still on the fence, but more than likely to get them this time around. I put it off long enough. Where could I get them in case you sell yours before I get around to deciding on them? Thanks again for the advice.
