Here are some pics of the instal It went well only about 2 1/2 hours start to finish
The car is a bit louder/deeper sounding up front and there is a noted improvement over the OEM not like a shot of NoS but better.
The header went in from under the car, there was no way it would ever go in from up top.
I had it jet coated inside and out. By having it coated inside it drops the header temp about another 50* to 75*F also it is very smooooth inside
