Check engine light came on about 90 miles after driving around with the catless headers. I'll be installation some o2 sensor spacers so the sensor isn't in the direct flow of the exhaust flow.

I wish someone did a dyno before and after the headers install. Tough to say if they would actually make a difference with no data supporting it.

I did see a noticeable difference in power compared to when the car was stock. I'm probably not the best one to answer this though as I did just come from having Twin turbos ha ha

Wonder how good these headers are. Thinking about trying it but don't want to waste couple hundred dollars to remove it if it sucks

has anyone been able to verify yet that you ARE able to install to your stock exhaust?
i'm in the same situation of being able to purchase them at a great price but am hesitant because i don't know if i'll need more components than what the selling if offering.
thanks in advance!

All you need is the headers, gaskets and new hardware. Don't worry... They'll be a direct bolt on to your stock exhaust
