That was a lot of money in '96. It's still a lot of money, but it was more then.

Per them internets, $20K in 1996 is equivalent to almost $40K in 2023 dollars.

These fit with a very mild adjustment to the heat shield on the passenger side near the starter. The driver side header comes out a bit lower in the frame than the passenger side. Had to make an offset in the exhaust pipe on driver's side. Passenger side pipe went straight back.
