What do you guys suggest? I know that some people have ran into clearance issues with the crossmember and a/c box with some headers. What are some ones that'll work without any fitment issues?

I used Flo-tec long tubes. Forgive that I don't have the part # anymore. We had to disconnect the engine mounts and use a bar to lift the engine on one side as the other side header was getting fitted. Took a bit of work but once they were in they were in.

Geez, Yeah I'm hoping to find a set where I wouldn't have to modify the headers or move the engine. Hopefully some more people will insert their insight too. Thanks though guys.

Sure, you can see if you can figure out which ones you have if it wouldn't be too much trouble I mean

I have dynomax blackjacks on mine now. I dont remember any fitment issues, but they were a pain to install. I believe I had to go in from the bottom. Its been so long I can't remember. I eventually want to upgrade to the flowtech afterburners. I'm upgrading my exhaust to heartthrob 2.5 inch from my current 2.25" duals.
