Yes, but it will require modification of the downpipe in order not to contact the headers and the body and throw the pipes out of alignment.

Not to mention most aftermarket headers result in slower spool up.

Headers
Actually I found someone on another site who swears that using Alphawerks headers fit fine and with no modification and most importantly that he reaches full boost at 3200rpm.
That sounds a little unbelievable considering I reach full boost at 4000rpm. What is everyone else doing? 3200 seems almost too low, but if its is possible, that would be great.

I also hear that Strup headers fit like stock, no modifications.
Rob, please clarify, you hit full boost at 3200-3400 or you start building boost at 3200-3400?
With my stock headers, why would you think that it takes me longer to reach full boost? There are no detectable leaks.

I have the stillen headers and will be swapping the stock manifolds back soon. The driver side header is in contact with the downpipe which causes vibrations. I think I have an exhaust leak from the slight misalignment of the pipes.

This is pretty common with aftermarket headers. You may consider having the stock headers Jethot coated before you put them back on though.

I start building boost at about 2600-2700 rpms, and am at full 9psi by 3300 rpms with my coated stock manifolds.
As far as headers and this kit, read every response I've ever given people it's just not worth it.
