    welcome to buying cheap ebay parts. take the car to an exhaust shop and let them do what they do.

    x2 Got a set for a 2g eclipse and they touched the fan shrouds when installed, ended up trimming the shrouds. I won't buy anything else off there.

    what kind of headers did you get tho? because i ordered my 4-1 header off ebay and they didnt fit either, but then i checked the add again and i saw they were JDM spec and needed a 2.5in cat. alot of ebay headers dont fit stock exhaust.

    so not it. he needs a flex pipe fitted for gap from the header to the cat.

    yeah my cat is high flow with the 2.5 inlet and outlet if my headers reached everything would fit perfect..but i think im going to go with the welding idea hopefully that should work

    Just go to an exhaust shop and have them add an extension piece to your header. Problem solved.
