So I also bought another pair of headers..exactly the same as I have now, but the pipes are just a bit thinner and also the mounting plate of the headers (hope you know what I mean) is slightly thinner, bringing the headers a bit more inwards...so they fit... but as you can see I only tested if they would fit..and than ran inside for some hot Coco....with rum!
