.Fyi, there have been fitment issues in the past with those. Its kinda hit or miss, but a good exhaust shop should be able to take care of any issues. IIRC the problem was with the y pipe

i was going to install them myself. or get as far as i can before i need to weld. im going to school for automotive so i'm not worried about the job, i just dont own a welding kit.

my options just seem very very limited and i have a rally coming up in a week and if i miss it i'll be very upset.

also it says generic, does that mean its obx or is this some guy in his shed building random headers? lol :drinking:

I was going to buy the "real" Ones but it's too late. I guess I'm the test rat for these. I can't wait over 8 weeks for racing depot. The time frame they told was taken straight outta thin air. They were suppose to be ready for sale in mid may which obv has past. They said and i quote; "they're somewhere on a shipping container"

You will have EGR valve fitment issues since the real ones have an extension to reach the factory EGR valve and the way it is curved. The eBay ones don't have that extension and Alot of work will be need to make it all fit right

You need to start trusting the sg members, ive installed those headers, i need to
start charging for my experience to these noobs, this one will be a free-bee.
First off you'll need to drill out all the holes on all the flanges for proper alignment, then
You'll have to make your own egr tube that goes from the rear header to the egr cooler or you can delete the egr tube to make it easier for the install, but you'll get a po420 code
The stock egr tube will not work. The jpp replicas are your best bet, if you want to avoid all
the headaches some of us have gone thru.

^Being that Greg has done literally dozens of installs for numerous SolaraGuys and enthusiasts, including myself, I'd trust his advice, seeing as he's seen near every possible part for the car and troubleshot most of the meddlesome/experimental ones

hey GREG, i never said i didnt trust any of you, why do u think im asking you guys????????????? if i didnt trust you or anyone else here i would not ask. try reading my posts and maybe you'll see that i thankful for everyones help INCLUDING yours. i did not appreciate your comment because like i said i am prepared to make these fit. all i wanted to know is what to expect and everyone here has been extremely helpful and very quick to respond. please dont just start assuming that i'm a ass and that i going to brush your helpful comments into the trash.
