Yeah, I'm thinking about creating a new thread when the mods are done so people don't have to wade through all these posts...I'll have everything on the first one...pictures, video, etc.

Headers look sweet. Are you eliminating the cat with a straight pipe or will you use the cat and 02 sensors like stock set-up? I am jealous.

I have no plans to remove the cat unless I have to. I still need to pass NJ inspection and I don't think I can do that without a cat.

True, but one would also not want to sound like a huge train going through town when we're really Thomas the Tanks . Results on the other forums later tonight!

Yeah, dawg! From one project to the next. Wheels next week, headers next...

I was all set to get my comand next, but since flip went full force with his project, I guess I'll have to wait a while for my comand (Sorry Steve and Wanda).

Comand will always be there. These headers seem like a one time deal. Good choice, Drex!

I'm back from the header install. No dyno right now, sorry, as soon as I can get one done, I will.

As luck would have it, we had tornado warnings all day and winds 30-35mph...my car was all over the road again.

First, the pics:





As you can see, only 1 & 4 are two piece.

Ok, so I'm not 100% sure because it was windy and I wasn't really pushing her, but I swear it feels like she lost a bit off the line, but pulls harder in the mid range and at the higher end of the band. Like I said, I'm not 100% sure so don't jump all over me just yet.

The sound is certainly different. She has a low rumble at 1K, a whine till 4 where the rumble comes back for a second, then a whine again. She sounds unreal. You can drive the car where you don't really hear a difference, and if you push her, you hear the rumble.

I should have the camera mount mid week and then I'll take the car out and push her. They are calling for snow tonight, tomorrow, thursday and friday, so it seems wednesday is the only chance...I'm hoping for good weather.

That's it for now, I'm exhausted and going to sleep...

very nice... how does the exhaust look in the back?... a small fitment error with header can result in issues with the tail pipe...

looks great, what cat are you using? thanks for the pics!

I bet if your car was on the dyno machine, you would hear the roar of the engine and forget about the wind noise.

No. My Bi-X's just showed up yesterday...still waiting on the clear fogs. Then it's the custom engine cover (nothing too exciting), spoiler, and CF interior (maybe) or a new set of rims (if I don't get the CF interior). Then, I'm done. Well, until the Pioneer AVIC-Z1 comes out. Then I'm done done.
