Sounds awesome

You're probably gonna drag the flange under the axle, mine did really bad.

How did yours fit to the front pipe? Nice didn't fit for shit

Did not fit lol, I lifted the car from the side and had no room to cram those spring bolts on the front pipe. Somehow managed to get it. What do you scrape on? I have not been over a speed bump yet but made it up the large curb at the bottom of the driveway no problem.

No, mine didn't physically fit, like, the pipe want big enough in diameter to go over the donut enough to get the spring bolts in at all, ended up grinding it out and it still didn't fit well. And it drags a little when you go over a dip at speed(so you squat then come out of the dip while squatted) I was lowered but it's got a big flat spot on it now. Never drug on a speed bump or going slow. Mind you I live in Iowa so it's not perfectly smooth freeways everywhere

What are your first impressions of the panel? Let us know if you notice a cooler engine bay.

Haha your post convinced me since I wanted to find a solution to keep my headers a tad cooler since I didn't ceramic coat or wrap my headers. The build quality is nice! Fits like a glove as expected. I'll monitor the temps for a few drives to/from work and see if it drops a degree or two.

Oh gotcha, yea I somehow got it about half an inch flange to flange and squeezed them together with large pliers til I got one turn on the nut so I could tighten them down. Don't know why the fitment is so bad, I thought it was not going to go on.

I untotaled my car and got my first door ding out. It hurt to have to drill an access hole under the door (the dent was near the front of the door), but I figure it's like getting a boob job... I don't care if there is a scar in the armpit as long as what I can see looks nice.

Got a steal for a HKS Premium Suction Air Intake Kit, paid $50 and it was still brandnew and unused! Plus got a PLM Track Pipe, I love the sound.
