I hear you. I don't mind waiting for quality parts. I do mind knowing when my stuff will ship. I got 'these take 2-3 weeks' after inquiring a week after my order. Now it's looking like a solid 4 weeks. It's all good. Just trying to save people from the confusion I've encountered. I'm sure it's worth the wait. Really hoping so, at least.

that all makes sense, presuming you can't get quality parts without the hassle. perrin is not mcdonalds lol.

I have to agree. I don't mind waiting if I know that I have no option, but I want to know how long I should be waiting. If I order a part online and it doesn't say backordered or show when availability is expected, then I expect it to ship out the next day or two. One of the reasons I love buying from RSD.

How much for the EL header + necessary mods to run your vortech tune with it? I think you or someone mentioned injectors and pump were needed at 290whp

Got my order in with Toni this AM for a EL, non catted.. should have something to look forward too when i get back from vacation!

[cobrabyte]

Looking forward to that shipment notification today. Glad I kicked in for the FedEx -- should get here quickly!

edit: Ain't shipping today. Surprise, surprise. :|

Header installed, 4 hours without a lift. cleaning/washing every part/component/ bolts of the under pans and the exhaust during disassembly.
PB Blaster penetrating oil is amazing.
PB Blaster Dry Film Lubricant works well on those under body bolts during reassembly.
I used new gaskets for the engine, the overpipe and the front pipe.
Extensive use of permatex ultra copper on the vband clamp. No leaks, no noise.
The sound is the same at idle in the engine bay. At the exhaust tips there is a hint of change but nothing loud
At cruise it is still quiet, everywhere else it is louder, and you can hear the FA20 CAI distinctly.
The hot idle with AC on has a shiver/shake that wasn't there prior, wondering if upping the idle would solve this.
All this data is from my daughter, I haven't driven it.
Big smile on her face as she left.

I will send Toni a data log for an updated tune from FA20.
