They all get 'em.. They look a lot like the FVD ones? We all use 'em... Great sets.. EVO does etc...

I've smacked mine a couple of times and welded a plate on there... Yours do look a good deal worse though

Look at the defferences side by side. The stock exhaust manifold points the outer pipes towards each other.



Compare that with direction of the aftermarket headers that point the exhaust gases right at the turbo.

Alex,

I have S Car Go headers along with a very low car abeit a very stiff suspension. I have never smacked the headers. That one time you and I went for a drive on Mt. Hamilton, we bottomed out once ............. but it wasn't the headers that hit.

Guy, can you post a picture of those custom headers? I suspect the exhaust system is completely revised as well.

Hehe what in hecks name did we hit? I hope it wasn't anything worse! Still at least you saved the lives of two small birds

Alex,

At the time it was a road patch that had about a half inch depression. The car had 3/8" clearance in the front.
