Headers And Mufflers Installed Today

i just got back after 8 hours of waiting at altered atmosphere in gaithersburg. i got my alpha werks headers installed without any problems. also got some mufflers welded on and boy do they sound nice. my car sounds like a monster!!! i'll take pictures tomorrow when its light out.

oh and i really feel the difference, its hard to stay below 80mph on the beltway.
i'm so damn excited, i love the way it sounds. the best way i can put it is it sounds like stock, but 10 times louder. i think i deffinitely made the right decision going with alpha werks instead of comptech (unless these crack or some bs)

I believe it is $80 or so for two pulls with air/fuel. Or you can rent it for an hour for $135

Congrats on the mods. Just wait a couple days and the power you will get out of the headers will blow your mind.

Enjoy!!!
