Install went smooth.

Power is very nice, Sound is even better.

Looks nice, that heat sheild is gonna help keep those hoses from getting too hot. I think that the sheild being secured to the engine and then to the front rad support is probably going to be a bad thing due to engine movement, I think it may flex and break eventually (the sheild).

Actually looks really sharp! it didn't turn as many colours as the SS header i put on my accord :D Yours has a nice golden kinda glow to it B)

2 months after my SVT header install...


WOW its still loud


I think everyone underestimates how loud a header actually makes the car sound (especially at wide open throttle.) I have learned to control the sound by applying the power gently then gradually pressing harder.

The car has a Jekyll and Hyde character now. One where I am trying to keep the noise output down by gentle applications of the throttle :ph34r: and the other, a screaming monster a full throttle :o .
I think i need a Cat, LOL

I get the feeling i might get tickets like this.
