Thumbs up Finally got my headers!!!

OMG, I am soo excited because I have been wanting them for the longest but couldn't justify the ~$1300 price tag (without installation)! But the day finally came. I just got my headers installed today at PAA. But first I would like to thank kchen for selling me his headers for a great price and taking the drive to PAA from CT. It took about 6 hours to swap my stock headers to his car and his comptech headers to my car. We killed the time by chilling and eating at the mall and I even took him and his friend to my house and a tour of northern NJ.

Ok back to the headers. I don't know if it is just my imagination but my car seems much faster than before, especially at triple-digit speeds. I was flying down the highway and I was AMAZED! And combined that with the sound of my AEM CAI, I was definitely in heaven. Damn, now I have another excuse to get a speeding ticket.:p

WOOHOO!!!

I'm still trying to get Kenny to sell me his. There is no way in hell I am going to spend close to ~$700 for a new exhausts when it only puts out less than 5 hp.

In the meantime, the tips will do and no one will notice cause my car is too low.:p
