Latest update,
I went out tonight and to start the removal process
of the dual exhaust system and headers. Thought that would be good progress for
one night of work. Well I had the duals and headers off in just over 20
minutes. Wow, not bad I say, so I decide i'll go ahead and start the
install of the new headers. The right side went on and bolts up in 15
minutes. I'm thinking this is to easy, so I go to the drivers side. IT
DONT FIT! The flange points towards the front of the car and hits the
power assist standoff bracket. So i do some additional checking and I
see that both headers have the same part number. So I go back inside and
make a phone call to the supplier of the headers and I am told that
they are the same for both sides. I tell them that cant be correct
because they both are tilted in the same direction and that means once
on the car one flange goes back and one goes forward.

tells me that they need pics of the headers together. I tell her the one
is already on the car but she says I need to take pics side by side. So
I pull the right one down and take the pics and send them to her. (See above pics) She
never calls me back. So I call again only to find out she left for the
night but before she did she sent an email. the email says I have no
problem and the headers are correct.
SO i get someone else to look into this and now I sit here waiting to see what they suggest to resolve this. Sometimes it just becomes so frustrating!
Any way here are the pics of the exhaust I took off. I plan on keeping this system for a while to see how I make out and if I ever get it resolved will I like the sound of the side pipes.

Newest Update: Got a call back at 10:30 PM tonight and they Customer service rep said he reviewed the pics with his boss and they are sending out another set of headers tomorrow. They agree that both the headers I have are the same side. I am to pick the header from the new set that I need and then call him back next week and he will arrange pickup of the old set. Hopefully everything will work out ok now!
