Hopefully everything arrives while I'm home tomorrow. Don't know why I have to sign for it.

But now I'm trying to find some headers, before I hit a dent in these stock auto ones and call it a day.

I've heard mixed reviews on about every option out there.

Comptech and the old XS Power's are no longer made
SSAutoChrome I've heard is absolute junk and the inlets are smaller than stock
DC/Megan/OBX is all auto headers. I've heard of OBX headers being 6MT, but I can't find any for the life of me.

Anybody have any ideas?

Do exhaust shops do custom headers? They could fabricate you one I think

Dang kinda crazy you can't find headers, this application isn't that unusual. Keeping an eye on j32a?

If I can get by the shop tomorrow I'll measure the inlets of the SSAuto/XS Power headers. Thanks for the reminder.

The auto Comptech headers should work (according to responses from others) given that you use aftermarket mounts. I hope this is true as I will be using them with Innovative mounts. Used auto comptech headers may be easier to find.

There's a few pictures of the old and new XS on my post on FB

I'm using innovative as well, so hopefully I can find a set of those

Well I got my big box today. I now have my J37 manifold, flywheel bolts, shift cable stay, various gaskets, and master and slave cylinders. Should be mostly everything. Will hopefully start the tear down soon. Need to take pictures of literally everything.

Nice. Wish I could find that IM setup used somewhere.

You and some friends are doing the swap?
