WARNING for anybody that might attempt this: DONT!

The newer motors have more studs drilled and tapped, and unless you're thinking of drilling and tapping your cylinder head on your 09-13~ motors, then don't even think abou it. The headers DO NOT FIT without drilling and tapping.

Not to mention; the design went from an equal length to an unequal length. While I'm sure Nissan had their reasons, sounds like it would be a lot of trouble just to reduce performance.
