I got it, makes my exhaust sound alot deeper.
the person who tuned my car said it's the first header that has actually made enough of a differance that he wanted to tweak the tune again.

If it wouldn't fit then I don't think JBP would continue to sell it. There's probably a very minor adjustement to make it fit ...

Actually there were a couple of guys who couldn't get it to fit. And if I remeber correctly it was said the engine had to be tilted or things had to be removed to shoehorn it in there.

it was really tight true, but the place I tried to get it installed the first time didn't put much effort into it.
I went into an exhaust shop and they installed it no problem.
but it is vary tight.
I cut asection of the fire wall insulation tarp so it wasn't rubbing all the time.

To all who are interested in some of this jbp stuff, be wary. Of all the parts I purchased, none of it was right, and the header had to be sent back because it was warped. For the price that i was charged for the "vortex" exhaust system, I could have put together my own three inch setup, and probably paid less than a third of what i did. This is aside from the fact that the downpipe pointed toward the driver side of the car instead of down the center of the exhaust channel, and the 8 inch gap we found between the end of the resonator section and the axle back piece. (this had to be filled in with a section of 3 inch pipe that had to be purchased).

This is only some of the issues encountered when dealing with this company, and I am only posting some of these examples so that some of you don't risk the same experience I encountered.
