At least his look comfortable haha! Congrats let us know how you like it.

Drove them for four hours straight LA to Fresno (includes the grape vine).

Absolutely no drone, I'm telling you they're dead quiet at 3K rpm. I'm sure a lot has to do with the catback choice (perrin) but damn they almost seem quieter than them

Odd side note: I'm getting better gas mileage? This is really strange I'm not sure if it's a weird fluke but I kept at 70mph, went approx 219miles (with traffic a bit) and managed that in 5 gallons approximately..

We can all do the math on that.

Are you able to do me a couple of favours? Can you take a closer pic of the slip joint area? And also check the flanges for flatness? Perhaps place a metal ruler or something similar on it...

And let us know the install went, whether you had much difficulty bolting them on?

Oh and do they provide OEM gasket? Any benefit in using the Grimmspeed gaskets for aftermarket headers?

The flanges are flat, and it does include gaskets.


here is a sound video that is really subtle compared to what it actually sounds like. It's in the cup holder with the windows up.

I'm going to get a shop to do the install for me as I literally don't have time and tools to do it haha. I'll definitely get it sound clip as soon as it's installed within the next week or two. With that said, I won't be tuned for a while so I'll probably just have the header installed with no tune. (broke college student)
