Wait, what? No long tube headers? For $1100? Unless its pretty much BNIB I don't really consider that to be a great deal. Are they paying for shipping?

I dunno man, but I see the FI going for ~$900-950 all the time.

I'm pretty sure TGO is lowered on Teins which are supposed to be a really mild drop.

What wheel are you running Mr. Alcheng?
