The color matches absolutely nothing but I love it. I'll probably keep it this color until the end of summer or I might just keep it lol. I want to paint my valve cover the same color. What color is it?

love them so far. With the tires on they way about the same as the OEM rear wheels and tires. The biggest difference however, is from the non-staggered vs the OEM -staggered; it over steers now.

The Berk header install should have been easy sense I had use of a pit. But their's always one bolt that is an epic PITA. This time it was a stripped heat shield bolt. I tried everything to get it off to no avail. I ended up using a hack saw, which took for ever Other than that, the install was easy.

Once everything is unbolted, the OEM manifold slips right out with ease. The install is a little more difficult though sense I had to jack the engine up. Really not that hard. Once lifted, the header fit right into place with little work.

So far I'm not disappointed with the header. It fits perfect, the tone of the exhaust is different(better) and it look nice. I'm not to sure about power though. It seems to rev easier but WOT feels about the same. With my big exhaust, intake and now the header, I think I'm at the limits of the OEM computer.

On to the pictures.

If I buy an EMS it's going to be an AEM EMS.

If the guy before me flakes out, I'll be buying something very nice tomorrow It's something I never really planned but couldn't possibly pass up the steal of a price.

It was a beautiful day out. I washed the car, then parked in the shade to do the interior. She looked nice so I decided to take some pictures. Have to show off my new licence plate frame . Then I fixed my exhaust leak for good; knock on wood. I've been having a hell of a time keeping the donut gasket sealed for more than a day; not Berk's fault. I replaced the OEM one with a new one and the leak is gone, even on cold start. Now I need to adjust my valves, sense you can really hear the valveterain with this header.

I also went for a short spirited drive with the top down. All I can say is WOW. You'd expect a car with a 9k redline to scream, with my exhaust set-up she ROARS.

On to the pictures; I'm obviously not a photographer.

New licence plate frame. Gotta represent.


WAY wider than OEM in the front.

The engine bay after the header install.

Another shot of the header.
