Header Install Tomorrow
I am posting this for no other reason but to share my excitement as I feel like a kid before Christmas. The headers have been sitting in my trunk for months waiting for my appointment to come and I couldn't be happier!
Anyone else get this way before install day and the many days after when admiring your car? Now to try my best to keep the cold starts to a reasonable decibel level for my neighbors and hope the wife doesn't kill me! This will be the final piece of my build for a few years, before I can save up for a heads and cam package and such. Carry on with your day, just too excited not to post. |

Congrats! I get excited too. Although, I installed my own Kooks 17/8" LTs. You'll love it.
We see too far.

I ended up getting Kooks 2in with high flow cats as the sales at the time had these $60 more expensive than the 1 7/8 so I figure it was a no brainer. I unfortunately can't wrench on my car to that extent where I live so I had to get a shop involved, but installed all my other parts myself.

Thanks, from all the research I have seen they are an amazing upgrade for these cars, even more so on e85 so I am thrilled. Sitting through a 12 hour work shift waiting for each moment closer to leaving lol.

It came down to Kooks, Stainless Works and ARH. They’re all good. Damn, now I’m ready to hear your story tomorrow. Is turnaround one day?

Those two things were incredibly important to me when doing this build and came out exactly as expected. Now when you even so much as think about touching the gas pedal it just comes alive and I haven't stopped smiling since. Has all the grunt behind it to match the performance while still allowing me to get up at 5am for work and knowing my neighbors will be okay. I did take decibel readings before and after at different throttle positions, I am not sure if anyone would care to read those numbers but I'll happily share if people do! Overall, best upgrade I have done to the car by far! |
