Hello everyone,

I saw this thread:

http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=233325

I Like it, and I also bought this headers.

Yesterday they arrived, but they won't fit!

The headers are touching each other, touching the chassis, touching the gearbox....

I'm after a day of trying and not succeeding.

Would appreciate any idea and help :(

All the mounts are lemforeder new.
The car after a long project..

Thanks,

From the other thread:

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.

Looks like you are having the same problems!
I feel for you but, it is important to read all the posts to get a good idea of what you are getting into before purchasing some aftermarket parts.
I hope this works out for you!!
