Another "have you tried these (different) headers?" thread...

[MR 325]

Sorry for this, but I have to ask.

Did any of you replace the exhaust studs when you swapped your headers?

Like I said...Sorry for asking here. I looked, but I did not find anything saying yea or nay.

Thanks guys...

Unless they are missing or damaged, there is no reason to.

So my question is for the money should I get these or IE shorties? I figure the IE will be super easy to drop in but being as ill have to do a custom exaust anyway should I just go for the long tubes.

Also I have the OBX and they are complete ass, never heard a worst leak (like all the fords running around)

Would love to hear updates on these

Would love to hear updates on these

me too, but i notice they don't sell them anymore from the company :(

They had them for sale a month or so ago. They seem to be off and on with the availability. Unless they stopped selling because of fitment issues. I've read a few recent threads from guys with interference problems.

When i was searching for long tubes OBX was out of stock. So i tried the topspeedauto headers. The fit was terrible. Made contact with the strut tower, firewall and sub-frame. Multiple areas where serious modification would have been necessary to install them...so i returned them and topspeedauto immediately approved the return, no questions asked. Looks like the OBX had a slightly better fit...oh well. I went with IE race headers and couldn't be happier. They fit, sound great and make power.

I decided to get the topspeed headers and so far fitment is ok. Had to flatten out two pipes because they interfered with the wheel well but now im having issues getting both headers in together.

Any tips on getting both headers in? Ive tried many variations of fitting them and the closest has me interfering with my sway bar. Have any of you had this issue?
