Anyone ever seen these headers or know anything about these headers. These are the cheapest headers I have ever seen. See link below.

Do you really trust headers on your car that cost $122.99??? IMO that is not a good idea. Avoid products that are cheap and marketed as JDM. True JDM parts are expensive. If you want good moderately priced headers go with STRUP. If you look hard enough you can find a site that will give them to you for aroun $450 shipped. Thats what i call a bargain. Also avoid cheap HFC's. Alot of them are made and china out of cheap steal.

I have heard nothing but good things about Strup headers form many different car owners. Why are their headers not being sold by other merchants, the way Stillen products are sold everywhere? And I agree, I ddi check their price and it was quite cheap. However, i did inquire about their installation, and i heard that they are extremely difficult to install on the G-35---may require dropping the engine for a complete install.

Most headers on the G are hard to install. Specially if they are equal length. Strup headers are sold on other sites.

here i did the work for you.

I was wondering why EverythingG35 isn't selling these headers? I agree that many headers are hard to install but I particularly got info that this header would require dropping the engine.

Probably not dropping. Maybe undoing a few bolts and jacking the engine. I heard craqfords were the hardest to install. Ive heard that dropping the engine out of a G35 isn't that hard.

Either way I wouldn't tackle the job. I'd take it to a shop. Might as well buy some HFCs and get them done at the same time and save you some money.

Most headers for the G aren't worth the hassle in performance gains. Save up for FI or invest in a good catback as far as exhaust goes.

I think nice HFCs and headers will compliment a nice cat back exhaust.
