I made a thread about it before, and I also ordered PPE headers, its just not worth risking cheaping out a few hundred bucks for an inferior product and risk having the headers not fit or poor quality.
Its not a easy install, I was quoted around 13-16 hours by the book, so the last thing you want is to have taken everything off and new headers not work out.

Oh, & thanks for that link OVSracing, I dont think I wanna deal with the hassling & risk getting cheaper headers that might end up craking, then half to uninstall it again. I rather spend the extra buck just to get good quality.. Thanks again..

alright fellas. last night we finally got the finishing touches on the headers. everythings good to go! sounds great too.
butt... heres the problem, the picture i took with the dimple; IT STILL DOES NOT CLEAR THE STEERING SHAFT!!!! F#%^ MAN!
my friend said he might have to take the headers off again [ driver side ] and from what it looks like, the heatsheild for the steering shaft. i mean dont get me wrong it drives and it turns but, you'll def feel / hear that grinding noise from the steering wheel.
anyone eles that got in on the groupbuy putem in yet?

did you install new mounts while you were in there? if so it should help sit a little higher without the sag of hitting the shaft, i had the same issue when i installed my PPE headers
my drivers side was remade before attempting install, then after finishing install so i had 3 drivers side headers.....still have one in the garage
