Not mine. I just thought it was a good deal... depending on what it gets up to. Just an FYI for anyone interested... this header will not bolt up to a stock exhaust or aftermarket cat-back.

Of course it won't bolt up to an aftermarket cat-back. It deletes the cat.....

Yup, I had it. I was on of the first. new it runs $400. I had it for over 4 years and it retained its gorgeous color. The sound was awesome as well. It really opens the exhaust up. Its an awesome piece for any ported/polished head.

What do you have to do to the exhaust to make it work?

All long-tube headers delete the cat. It's my understanding that the gude does not end in the same location as the obx, hotshot, or the stock cat. Therefore you have to have an exhaust shop make a new piece. I'm not saying it's a big deal, I'm just saying that it won't bolt to an aftermarket or stock cat-back like the hotshot or obx will.

Gude is the only one piece long tube 4-1 header.

You will have to take your car to an exhaust shop and have them either weld in all new piping to the muffler or add a 1-2 foot piece. The angle of the piping and flange is off and about 6" short on the header. The only exhaust that will bolt directly to the Gude header is the Gude exhaust.

That's what I thought...
