ssautochrome. gooooood luck with that, if they fit and are halfway decent quality i will be very surprised. Just had a couple bad experiences with that place, but hope everything works out...they do have fast shipping though!

Its depends on when you ordered it and how far/close you live to their warehouse.

make sure you drive it a short distance after install and check for leaks- using some seafoam is a great way to see leaks!
After 100 miles- check all the exhaust bolts for correct torque- do it again at 500 miles
Failure to do so will likely result in a blown exhaust gasket-

Dude - you are the man. Good luck with the headers. What's this about the mountain run on Saturday?

my girlfriend gives me the "you keep modifying your car, and it keeps getting louder, and you wonder why you get pulled over."
she still says that to me to this day, we've been together for 5 years, and the only reason i got pulled over was because my thermal r&d exhaust was loud like a mofo. plus, it was a prelude i'm driving and not a luxury tl. lol

I dont find anything about a drive saturday- looked in the 209 links and sublinks
Darn these old eyes--where is it happening????
and no I havn't gotten around to the EDFC- anyone want to help- run the wires for me basically...I will seafoam your car correctly!!!

Oh yea- anyone wants to bring a can of Deep Creep and throw a can of seafoam in your tank when its about 1/2 full, before the meet- so its already working when the Deep Creep version of itself arrives~
I cant bowl- some of us can foam or watch the others bowl- thats free!

Lets try and keep activities towards the middle or south end of sac---the farther north like Natomas Roseville and past cal expo- you lose some the 209 guys--thats the other side of the world to us in the little city man! I only pass thru there on the way to reno~
