I think you're OK, but double check with AFR. Not sure if they raised the exhaust port on the 185's or not. That'd be the only reason your headers won't fit.

On a side note, that stock T5 (In your signature) isn't going to put up with that for too long. 3rd gear synchro's are gonna head south on you soon, if they haven't already.

Well that's WAAAAY better! You can even get the G Force goodies for that box. Wish they made good stuff for my TKO
