I'll see what I can dig up on my lunch break in an hour. It pretty much turned rainbow colors just like most other headers, but I like the look of it.

Rainbow lol. I seen a few pictures in the engine bay thread but it wasn't close enough to really see your headers.

Besides i hated the fact that i payed 1000 dollars for a J's header that i wasnt happy with.

I think the hytech is a POS because the gains arent really that significant being that you MUST use their TP to install it. I can get similar gains with the OEM header using any 70MM TP.

Here is the the best one I could find where you can see the color that the header turned. Not the best but it's all I have at the moment.

Thanks for the picture Suzuka! Im not sure if i like the color change but i dont think i can change what heat does to metal As much as i like the look of header wrap i have heard over and over that it increases the chances of cracking. I dont think i would want to cover it with a header heat paint either. I think i should stop complaining, wipe the tears away and just buy the damn thing lol.

Has anyone with an AP2 had issues with these "megan" style headers. Some report that the o2 sensor location being at 90 degrees doesnt allow enough room for the sensor on the AP2's.
