So far so good with the header. I'm happy with the build quality. I have just bolted the header to the heads but have not connected the rest up yet. The fit is perfect where it bolts to the heads. The installation is easy. The 4 outside bolts are just as easy to get to as stock. You just need an extension. The two inside bolts are pretty easy with a swivel extension. I did ground down a small step just inside one of the tubes where it meets the flange that bolts to the head. This was minor but it was there and I grounded it down smooth at a machine shop I used to work at. This was one out of the 4. I did not get pics of it. I'm very happy with the quality of the collector, materials, welds, and coating. Tony does good work. I will be taking my time bolting things up from the front to the back with the Motiv overpipe, HFC front pipe and stock cat back. I'm using new gaskets at each connection since I did have some leaking with the Motiv components. The gaskets they send are not a crush type and may have been the culprit (or installer error). I should have the instalation complete by Friday evening and hope to do some data logging and enjoy the torque curve it should have come with from the factory.
