The headers were used, so they might already be broken in. My FI CBE is non-res, so I expected rasp. I honestly just did not want to wait 6 months or however long it is for a new one, so I bought used. I'm going to put an order in for a resonated one after I get the suspension brakes and oil cooler squared away, and just sell this one on the forums. I love the sounds, its brutal and in your face, and at the same time its not obnoxious like people with fart pipes. From the 2 days I had it on the road, I turned a lot of heads. I was stopped in traffic under an over pass and a mustang GT was next to me... He revved his engine a little, so i took her up to 3500 RPM. He went higher, so I hit my rev limiter in at 5k. He smiled and gave a thumbs up, and i gave him a nod. Meanwhile a scion behind us was tacking his sh*t out lol. So I took it right to 7k... Should have seen the mustang drivers face. We were both smiles from ear to ear. I am guessing he thought my 5k rev was the max... Anyway, aside from the who's penis is larger thing, I feel very accomplished doing the install myself. I am not bad at mechanical stuff, just no real experience, until now, with auto.
Very huge shout out to all those who helped me through this. Without the support of you all, I probably would have given up.
To those reading this thread, thinking about doing the install yourself... Be warned, its not an easy task. But I believe with enough time, patients, and willpower, it can be done by almost anyone who is willing to get a little dirty, scarred, and discouraged. If you have the time, and tools i say go for it! You will curse me once you get to the hard stuff, but will be like "that Alex guy was right" once you get it done.
