*shrug* I didn't do it; my mechanic did. I will say this though -- my mechanic is very meticulous. If something doesn't look perfect to him, he will undo everything and start over until it looks perfect. But to be honest, I will also say that time management isn't his strongest point. My guess is that the 3 hours included an undisclosed amount of 'distraction time'.

Would you guys like me to make a vid clip just driving around normal with my stereo playing? Would that help? You know, at one point in the clip as I'm about to turn onto a main road, my radar detector starts going off. I didn't change the volume setting of my V1 from prior to the header installation. So if you go back and play that bit, that might give you a better idea. It even continues beeping 1 or 2 times after I make the turn and go WOT again. Another thing you can listen for is my turn signal clicker. You can still hear it clearly even when the engine is under load. Now, our clicker isn't a loud one, so I think you can make an inference from that as well.

Underdrive pulley. Then a tune when UpRev releases their 370Z package.
