Skunk2 Review.

[FirestormFRS]

Quick review.

Price: I got a super price. A+

Packaging: Comes in a box! Also comes with new gaskets! Bonus wasn't expecting that. A+

Arrived a day earlier than UPS said it would. Header was clean inside and out. No left over flashing or weld spatter in the pipes. Flanges were flat and pretty damn smooth. A+

Installation: Straight forward except for one nut on the left bank. That one you'll need a deep offset 14mm wrench and a lot of patience to get it on. Took me <1hr to jack the car up and have the header loosely fitted. Took another 45minutes to button it up. A flex extension would work great but I didn't have one. B

Sound: Note I went from stock with CBE to header, overpipe, and catted fp.
It's ear shattering on cold start of course. Super nice once it calms down at idle. 70mph cruising with resonated 2.5" perrin is completely fine. Full throttle is loud. I have a lot of rasp but I think it's the FP. May need to add a resonator even though it's catted. B+ maybe an A if I can get the rasp under control.

Butt dyno: Butt dyno says get a tune you retard. Seriously I'm not sure I've driven it long enough for the ECU to relearn the afr's.


For the price you're not going to find a better header. KW/Skunk2 are awesome people to do business with as well. I'd recommend it to anyone that is in the market for a header. A

Got rid of a lot of the noise....it was my OP rattling against the frame. Sound is 100% improved.
