    Just wondering if these would fit on my Impala....

    eBay Motors: OBX Exhaust Headers 97-03 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP 3.8L (item 350142982581 end time Jan-18-09 12:54:53 PST)

    I know they'd fit on the gp, but im not sure on the SS. Anyone know if the quality of these headers are any good?

    Well, assuming that every header made for the 3800 fits most 3800 powered cars minus a Fiero or F-Body/Grand National.

    I'd say that they would fit pretty well. And for the price you can't go wrong to be honest. I paid around $500 for my coated Pacesetters and I love them. Just wondering if those headers are coated or not? If not they are gonna turn a nice rusty color. If they are coated then more power to ya.

    All in all I still say get them for the price. A lot better of a investment than PEM's and a 3" DP. Although they are A LOT easier to install then headers but they lack the performance for about the same price.

    Yeah they arent coated, but ill ceramicoat them before I install them. I like the setup, but im not sure about the gaskets that come with the kit. I'll go to Auto zone and replace them with Felpro gaskets, oh and grab a can or 2 of pb blaster for the nuts and bolts. I learned last time with the plog on my gtp lol.

    Damnnnnn! Im going to pick these up! Way better deal than getting a down pipe... Downpipe = $210

    For an extra $120 you can get headers!

    I have to get em installed by a pro though... Any recommendations?

    The Impala has a smaller brake booster in most years, so they may actually be easier to install, but those headers should fit any 3800 W-Body, The only iffy area would be the DP
