hey, i have a 2001 regal and im thinkin of getting these headers, how are they? did they fit well?

[KFCOrBust]

@FutureMarine246 They fit perfect except for having to bang out the tranny tunnel to fit the o2 sensor. Well it's not a tranny tunnel but there's no other way to describe where to hit it lol.

[FutureMarine246]

@KFCOrBust have they leaked or anything?

[KFCOrBust]

@FutureMarine246 Only where the EGR connects, make sure you use a lot of RTV there, I didn't use any and it blew the crappy gasket out like immediately. Other than that I just used the exhaust clamps and some RTV for the crossover pipe and it's totally leak free even with those pieces of crap.

[FutureMarine246]

@KFCOrBust ok thanks, whats EGR and RTV? im gonna have muffler shop install mine so i want to make sure i tell them all this

[KFCOrBust]

@FutureMarine246 EGR = Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve and RTV is a sealant.

[FutureMarine246]

@KFCOrBust ok, thanks

[FutureMarine246]

@KFCOrBust sorry to keep bothering you lol, did you the headers make you exhaust louder? also what is your exhaust setup?

Better check your engine mount after that

[KFCOrBust]

@silveradodude920 It's fine.
