Is anybody running OFH and Perrin 2.5 resonated catback? I can't find a sound clip on youtube except for like one low quality one. Any sound clips would be helpful

by end of the week i guess i meant in a month lol. I had some issues installing the header (stripped bolt) so i had to bring it to a shop and get it done.

Anyways, i've been driving for about 40 mins from the shop. some notes:

1. during highway cruising, the ofh is barely noticeable, when you have music, you wont even notice.
2. under hard acceleration, high RPM, it can be quite loud. Which I've expected with an UEL with no cat.
3. power definitely feels more linear, but not as linear as i would hope. I'm using 93 octane UEL stg 2 tune. Maybe it will feel stronger after a few days of driving.

You'll notice more of a difference when you install a catback either dual or single. Video has both HKS and OFH. Everything else the overpipe and front pipe is stock.

It took a month for mine to arrive when I ordered. Be patience man, those things take time when supply and demand being high. The headers are worth the wait. I'm happy I did and it's a huge noticed when I installed mine. If you waited for three weeks, your doing better than most.

Yep - heard back from Openflash yesterday. They said the shipment is at sea and is due in port in about a week. Then the shipment will need to clear customs before it can be shipped out to us. I'd estimate another two weeks before they have them in the mail.

I believe they should have a shipment in this week. I called last week and they said it was clearing customs and should be available now. I going to call them tomorrow.

Catbacks don't give you any performance gains on NA

Please post up what they say - my last email from them said they were expecting it to clear customs late last week.
