I guess it's time to ring in on this...
I have the Rimmer 4-2-1 stainless header as well as the rest of the
stainless system. I like the fit. The way the header is bent makes it
slide right along the side of the oil pan and then sweeps rear. There is a
"y" that ties it all together that straightens the pipe so it runs right
down the center (or there about) of the car. I noticed great improvement
all the way through the power band, low end torque and top end speed.
Good luck with your decision
