from what i noticed it depended on the k-member and it wasn't pretty. i unfortunately had to have them custom made. i say unfortunate as with my pa member the headers cost me $1,200 when complete but they work the way i wanted. anytime you can get one from a company that mass produces them you save though..

what k-member are you running? i thought about having several sets of mine duplicated and sell them for a reasonable cost but not too many people take a chance with pa these days. i was fortunate to get mine years ago.

nope. wont fit.
4thgen headers dont fit 3rdgens because the angles of the collectors make them point into the "framerail" of the thirdgen.

if you have a tubular Kmember, and you cut and re welded the angle of the collectors, you can make them work, but its not pretty or ideal.
