I think OP is trolling. If not, just reinstall the stock header. That thing is garbage.

No trolling. Wish you lived close by. They're so easy to install, I was ready to take it off for ANY reason. If it messes up I'll weld it up or put stock (gutted) back on. No big deal. Probably 45 minute job taking it easy.

Is anyone close to Chattanooga TN that would like to drive/hear my car? It'd make my day to talk to a fellow twin owner and let em rag it out all they want.

If you are happy with it it doesn't matter what the rest of us think.

You don't need to prove me anything. I just could not believe you are taking you car's modifications so lightly and thought you were trolling.

If something get messed up, the damage can easily go far beyond the cost of that header. You may not be able to fix by just reinstalling the stock header. If you want sound, it is much easier to install a catback. If you want performance, that header is probably not giving you any.

But you don't need my approval or opinion to begin with. Stay safe.

It's a header. Worst case scenario it cracks open at the welds and the car runs like shit.

It's still safer than stanced out cars scraping oil pans and beaching themselves on speed bumps and driveways.

Exactly. I'll hear it immediately. I've had it happen on a Tacoma. I was ready to hang this on the wall. It was a cheap gamble that so far has paid off. It's faster, no doubt. Cool Boise is a bonus.
Just so y'all know, this is my DD beater that my dogs ride in almost daily. I drive down a 1.2 mile gravel Rd to work. If anyone will break a bad weld on a header it's me. Time will tell.
Also, I'm about to tune to e85 and see if that bump is worth it. Did it earlier with stock header and liked it until winter
