It seems like they would be difficult to install because they don't have the holes that go all the way thru the box which allow access to the allen nuts and bolts that hold them to the heads.
Here is a picture of the original factory ones that I put on my M471 for comparison. Attached image(s)

I agree with install difficulty without the holes, swivel sockets would probably get to the nuts though, i just took my HE's off for the summer and installed my headers.

They look like they would exchange more heat then the Billy Boat or GLH ones.

I haven't checked recently, but aren't they about the same price as the factory ones? I believe the factory ones were still available the last time I checked, but not cheap either!

I communicated with that company some time ago, and I wouldn't go that route. They have constructed those HEs with welds inside the heat collectors which is a serious no-no. Although they claim to never had a problem, just make sure your life insurance is paid up!
Just because someone makes 'em doesn't mean they should! From my experience it's not easy to find aftermarket HE's that actually fit the first time! |

GHL will be the next ones I try. I'm through with B&B, unless you are ready to pay for the extra time, and return shipping.
