yeah the stock one was tubular, right?

I've just always found a header to make things more raspier.. though of course if you had a gasket leaking before and that was fixed with the new one..

what brand header is it anyway? I'd say it looks nice but you didn't post shiny pics before the wrapping. I wish that wrapping could look good, but it's worth it still

Shiny new pic for you


I didn't get it new. I was lucky in that I managed to get a top shelf header (w/o going custom) for about $125 off of list price, that was in pretty much brand new condition. It was already wrapped when I bought it.

Brain Fart

I had a bit of a 'moment' about 15 seconds into my first run this Sunday. "Wait, WHERE was I supposed to hit the brakes? Oh...back there..."
