    I just saw these for sale locally. The ad says its ceramic coated. Though it doesnt look like there is a flange at the end. Does that mean they just weld in?

    Yes you have to weld them. They don't make them anymore but from what I've read they're pretty good. How much are they asking?

    I bought one of those headers for my '96 2.7 I had about 14 years ago from Downey when they were still in business. I remember it looking very cheaply made very thin metal and the egr tube and down pipe did not match up with stock so ended up sending it back and had to fight them to get my money back. Ended up buying a header from Northwest Off-road and was much better quality and everything matched up and was all bolt on. I know it was a long time ago but when something makes you mad you remember it forever.

    $200. Though if the EGR fitment is an issue, then as far as I'm concerned the price is not a concern at all.
