Also you probably won't be able to use the OEM washer on the middle stud either because it won't fit with the large runner. Before anyone says "see you get what you pay for" this washer problem also existed on one of the hotshot headers too which was a helluva lot more then the $75 I paid for my header.

i have 2 ssac 2" headers, bought one early 04 and one in 05 and neither had any problems with installation. i dont understand these problems people are having? now people might say this is because i have the 2" model, but the only thing that changed on the 2.5" model is the downpipe.
im lookin into getting a 2.5" one here soon, so im curious about these problems.
