Hey gang, I'm thinking about this -a lot. Please help me out, what make would you get and why?
How long should it take for a shop to install them. I'm going to be needing a timing belt (93500) pretty soon and I'm considering having both done at the same time. Any info from you experienced guys would be very much appreciated.
Comments, thoughts?? Please.

I know Scott (daggerdoggie) did an exhaust system a while back and threw headers on there. His rig sounds mean. Ask him or look up what exact make they were on one of his threads. I would for you but difficult on the phone. Good luck!

Thanks for your info. I have a NISMO CAI & Catback and should have done headers then. Oh well, I'll look for the thread.

More comments and thoughts welcomed!

Alright so I believe Scott has SLR headers with a dual magnaflow exhaust and if I remember correctly, SLR is no more. I found these on 4x4parts.com. https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/xterra- ... -6678.html
They say for offroad use only, I would assume because of the elimination of the cat, but since when do we care about being "legal" haha hope this helps a little

Thanks, my CAI & Catback were labeled the same way. As a DD I don't 'use them' back and forth to work and around town anyway, just actually 'use them' offroad. LOL

I did my Headers on my X and also made it a true Dual Exhaust. Louie's Custom Exhaust did the custom pipes, but the headers were done by me and a friend, was not fun. I believe i bought my off of Steven, but 4x4 parts were the same ones.


Note:
You have Two cats and Two .. something to make it less noisy.. dont remember the actual name

The circles are your CATs, and i was able to replace those with Universal Catalytic Converters 6907.. ( i think ).. It was a project but the end result was worth it.

Okay, ordered the Doug Thorley headers. (465-L-C)

Anyone have a guess as to how long it might take a shop to install them?

They will do it right at least. I'm a doof so would screw it up somehow. I now have them in hand and need to schedule the work.

You know, your driveway is always open! Haha

I'm going to suggest be ready for being without car for 2-3 days. They will say 1-2 but they they still will hit a snag, or worse snap off a header bolt.. So just take that into consideration.

It went into the shop today. They got it back together and tomorrow I'll get it back after they do some other work I wanted done. I did not get the CEL Eliminators though so I'm guessing it will be throwing codes. I missed that... dammit. If so, I'll get the check engine light eliminators and have them do that if I can't.
