They werent kidding about finding headers that can easily fit into a 5th gen



The back headers are rubbing against the firewall causing random vibrations when driving or using the AC

a lot of people that did headers on the 5th gens have had to pound in the firewall to make the clearance.

as for your question earlier if you have the 6 pieces that does make them the ZZP upper motor mounts

i got the headers from zzp but like i said they werent a perfect a fit. took alot of massaging from the shop to get them in and they had cut off the rear flange use a smaller one. Reweld the downpipe to actually fit and not point straight to the ground.

thank for the link i didnt know if something went there ill just clean mine up a bit so doesnt get clogged

Not much really to report right now still working on my suspension still trying to find out wats causing my front end vibrations maybe the axles, ball joints control arms not sure.


i think my stock airbox was becoming restrictive after the header install so i made a simple hai intake
