1320 Performance UEL V2 Headers

So I was in the market for some mid-priced headers. I heard the V1s had issues with exhaust leaks but the fitment was pretty good. I had also heard the V2s fixed that issue.
So I went to go buy these off their site, realised I had to use PayPal. I hate PayPal so I started to see if I could find others somewhere else.
I decided to check the super sketch EBay. Boom they were there so for $427.50 later, with free 'economy' shipping. Shipped through FedEx and only 4 days later I had them in hand.
They are going on Saturday and I will have more pictures, but I figured I'd share some pictures of the hardware and the welds for those who are interested, because I couldn't find any when I wanted some.

If you want any picture in particular just let me know.

I've had this setup for ~4 months or so, picked up used.
Overall pretty happy with it...I do have the whistling/fluttering noise from the flex joints that has been mentioned here and on the UK forums. Will be curious to see if you have it or not, as it seems pretty random...some just have it and some don't.

Personally, I don't care what my car sounds like so it's a non-issue for me but I imagine it would drive some people nuts.

So I don't have pictures or videos atm, but I can say I am very very satisfied.
First off, fitment was spot on. It slid right into place. Same with the Overpipe.
Secondly the gaskets seemed to work pretty good.
My only complaint is that the left side inner bolt is a pain to tighten. It took two days but finally got it tightened properly.
I've driven about 200 miles since I installed them Saturday, and have had no leaks from the headers. (I do have one leak, but it's not 1320s fault) I love the sound they make on the upper end of the rev range.
Hopefully in the next few days I will have some install pics and videos

How do you like this set up now that's it's been a few months? I'm looking at this as well since hearing their fitment and noise issues with the V2 have been fixed.
