Headers on an AWD?

Hi there... anyone with any opinions on/experience with good headers for an 04 G35x Sedan AWD?

I've seen the following headers recommended: Crawford, Strup, Alphawerks, DC Sports & Ichiba. Do any of these have problems in the AWD Sedan?

what exhaust, high flow cats/test pipes do you have?

i dont think the engines (04) are any different on the X than rwd and the coupe

id go with DC Sports

The engines are the same, but the OP is worried about clearance. I would go with DC Sports too. So far, it seems to be the best design for the G, which is pretty sad. From what I've heard, Strup is a copy of the DC design.

thanks for the replies... the car...

04 G35x Sedan AWD; engine:
5/16" iso thermal spacer
stillen catback
stillen CAI
stillen ground kit
unichip

yeah, real question isn't fitting the engine, it's making sure I don't run into any fitment issues with the AWD engine bay.

I've avoided high flow cats and test pipes so far b/c I'm in NJ and assume they'll fail inspection(?)

you should be fine it will cost an arm and a leg to install tho

i would get high flow cats if you get headers... just put the stock cats on when its time for inspection
