Ordered these at BG from SW on Saturday 5/10.....they got here today earlier than I expected! =D>

If these are the SW headers, do you know if they clear the steering gear as Jeffvette was having issue with that?
Is there a problem with the O2 bungs being on the side rather than the top?

Hadi,

Go read the thread by Jeffvette. In one of his installations he encountered a fit problem and he posted pics.

Mine has been on my 93 for 7-years no problem with getting them on.

Enjoy the music you will make .........

Guys,

I'm not suggesting there's something wrong with SW headers. I'm simply pointing out that in a recent installation, a very experienced installer, Jeffvette, had a fitment issue. And that you should be aware of that if you encounter a similar issue. That's all.

I know exactly what youre talking about. I saw Jeffs post as well. I only got them today, so I dont know if there will be any issues. The only way to know is when I try to get them on I guess. Jeff sent his back or I would compare measurements on the phone to check it out. Wish me luck!!

32v,

I saw them at BG also. Tempted to get their Xpipe. I was surprised with my Watson headers that the exhaust note was as quiet as stock. You're probably going to want to check the tune once you get them on. I found that timing needed to be adjusted because of knock. Not sure whether its false knock or not but ECM was retarding timing.
