question: anybody have an idea if fabspeed headers from VAC will fit the zed? they're local to me and are offering a group buy on m3forum for a very reasonable price. i'm to chicken shit to do the install, so i'll have them install also. so price of GB + install + ceramic coating = around the price of the SSv2 step or AA genIV.

anybody's personal recommendations which route to go or if you can provide any insight regarding the fabspeed headers mated to the Z would be great.
i'm an easy sell...so if someone is just in love with an particular header for our car for whatever reason just preach on and i'll seriously consider them. so far starscream has peaked my interest with ssv2stepped.
THANKS! |
Looks good from here. I paid $1700 for my AA's and probably another $100 for gaskets and proper tools. Plus it took 10-12 hours of my time(w/o rerouting 02). Of course I bet I could do it in less than 5 now. Wonder how much heat shield trimming there would be? If that's all Id go for it.
The coating is nice too cause those suckers get hot enough w/o to boil your ww fluid. At least mine did.
