Fastest run from Sunday at the SD Tour (including a cone in the slalom at the finish). Saturday was a mess trying to deal with massive on throttle oversteer issues. Placed 8 of 9 overall. Top 4 drivers in the class were national level drivers.

Videos from last weekend. Got 4 of 7. Not the best day but I had fun. It isn't a good idea to slide through a ditch on course as seen in the second video. 3rd video was my fastest run.

That super charger is the perfect back-drop to your surgical precision runs.

So my PPE Engineering BOOM sticks showed up today. They go on this Friday with my Raceseng pulley set.

What a coincidence. I just had the same PPE headers installed on my Innovate SC FRS last week. Before you put the headers on can you check to see how much spacing you have between the header tubes, especially where the sides cross? Unfortunately my headers rattle really bad due to them hitting each other in the middle section. Let me see if I can find a picture of the problem.
Ok, here it is installed In the middle, where the pipes intersect is where they hit against each other. Notice the white spot in the black coating. That's where they are hitting (I haven't detected any other areas but its tough to get under there with just jack stands) Here's a closer pic. The rattle is very distinct and noticeable. The only time it isn't a problem is when the engine isn't vibrating too much, mainly at constant cruising speeds. Any acceleration or deceleration that causes my engine to vibrate even a little bit ends up in the tubes rattling. I'm thinking that perhaps engine mounts and possibly wrapping the headers might help, but I don't want to just put a band-aid on the problem. I feel like this has got to be some sort of manufacturing defect and that perhaps I just got a bad build. I plan on contacting PPE about this to see if they can help me out. Hopefully you don't encounter the same problem.

Yes, mine are very close there as well. Hopefully I don't have an issue.

Here's a few videos of the sounds the headers make. For reference this is with an Invidia N1 cat back and Invidia front pipe with a high flow cat.

Here's some related photos of the factory overpipe, Invidia front pipe with high flow cat, and spark plugs after 54K miles, 20K of it supercharged.
