I would highly recommend wrapping them before the install. It cuts down on the tinny sound you get from the thin walls, but you still get more rumble than stock when you give it some gas. You also will hold more heat in the pipes which will help the hot exhaust gas flow more freely. It took me 2 rolls of 50'x1" wrap to cover the whole kit.

I don't actually turn a wrench unless it's on my bicycle, it's too expensive to fix the shit I fuck up.
I have a factory tech who does the work on the side, I plan it, he builds it. It probably took him an 1 1/2- 2 hrs. plus about 30 minutes to allow the wrap to stop smoking. He just did it in the shop so he had access to all of his tools as well as a lift. It will probably take a little longer with the tools you are using and that you can't walk freely under the car.

Guys, don't worry.....When I ordered mine I never got an email or tracking number from them.... a few days later, it arrived Give it a few days, it'll get to you......and when you get those bad boys in, hang on! I'm getting ready to install a UR pulley this weekend and that should bump up the fun factor a few notches. Can't wait to test drive it after the install...

Im confused, will they bolt up to the stock exhaust on the Type-S or do you have to do a whole system? If it does bolt up to the stock system, is it still worth doing just the headers or should i wait until i can afford the whole exhaust?
Thanks guys! I can tell this car is going to cost me a ton in mods isnt it? lol I just cant be happy with stock.

I've emailed them recently and they aren't making them and not saying if they will ever again. Sold my new pair for $250 a while ago. Just keep your eyes out for a pair in the Black Market section.

I've put over 100k on a set with no issues..
I also have a "new in box" set (purchased as a backup) that will be up for sale once I have time to take pics.. Watch the Black Market section.
