Ryan do you have some pix of your headers? I want to install some on my pathy. Cant find any good pix of them installed.

I have the pace setter ones on my D21. I love em. But the Y pipe is pain to rework. I was thinking about thorleys. Just concerned about the space they consume under the hood.

I really like the shape and size of the vg33 SLR headers. I think there the best of pace setter and thorleys in one. I think they will bolt right up with a custom Y pipe. Just need to add a EGR port I think.

What angle you want them from? I'll run out in a bit (snowing) and take some shots for ya! I had Pacesetters, I think the Thorleys are more compact, you will be surprised.

Cool thanks. From the under the hood both sides and from fenderwell side.

I have my Y pipe off so I can clean up the frame. I need to find a good place for upper links. There is room But its right around the Y pipe.

The pacesetters are nice and long and skinny.

The worst thing about them is they block the starter bolts. I had to remove the header to remove the starter. That kind of thing bothers me. I like stuff easy to work on.

You can see the down pipe beside shock mount..

Cool. Thanks that looks very similar to stock are far as space goes. Those should work with a 3 link.

Well I found some used Thorley headers. $150.:D

Cool thing is they use Nissan gaskets at the header to Y pipe.:bannana: I just accidentally order 3 of those 3 bolt gaskets. I wanted the 2 bolt version at the cat.

These headers will be put on pathy. There heavy duty compared to the pacesetters. I really like the design.
