LOL @ ^

Any results yet?
bcuz dyno's are pricey and im on a budget, i just said f it and i just installed it in my garage. honestly, it feels as though i lost power @ the lower end cuz my S doesnt pull as it used to under 4k. but over 4-7k i feel as though the thing'll snap my neck off. 7-8k seems the same to me. could be a placebo effect but this is just what i noticed. the header actually made my exhaust piping rub up on the underbody so i had to put some header wrap as cushioning to get rid of the damned rattle. other than that, install was great. in addtion to the "feel" of power gains, i dropped 12 lbs so i give it a overall im pleased with it and it looks badass the added engine sound isnt bad either. i like it haha sounds like a whoosing sound so ppl think i now have a turbo

my advice is USE A SUPER FRIGGING HIGH JACK
lol i tried to use my cheap $25 jack but it didnt go high enough. its good enough to take the OEM header out but not enough to put in the new one. trust me on this. IT HELPS
also i just followed the steps on this website
http://grandprixwhites2k.com/diyheaderexhaust.asp
also, make sure you torque down the cat-collector and header bolts.
i didnt torque the o2 sensor cuz it was too damned hard lol
cat-collector is 16lb/ft
header is 23 lb/ft
and if you can, o2 sensor is 33 lb/ft *i just put it as tight as i could.. not much space to work with tho *

Hey guys I got a quick question. I might be buying a JVT header from a friend. It seems like it is the same as the megan cant see anything different. My question is that he has a ap1 and i have a ap2. will this header fit right? He gain 4hp over stock.. should my ap2 see anything near that? Thanks guys!
