I didn't say they definitely wouldn't fit, but when you run cheap headers, they have a tendency not to line up right and sometimes not fit at all. Not to mention they like to crack, too.

spyder is a junk "brand". There's no sense in brand matching garbage

I wouldn't expect you to have any problems with a cat-back exhaust... they aren't prone to failure, it's kind of hard to do a bad job making a reliable one. It probably sounds like crap, but that's beside the point.

What I am saying is that your Spyder cat-back is nothing special, so the effort put into brand matching is pointless. Maybe if you had some super rare exhaust or something brand matching would make sense to be concerned about... but really, brand matching is kind of stupid when it comes to parts like that, regardless of whether the brand is nice or not. Just because a company makes the best exhaust doesn't mean they make the best everything else... so even if you had the best exhaust in the world, what would be the point of brand matching their header if their header sucks? Plus, a header is more prone to failure and I wouldn't trust a Spyder header, it's probably junk.
