I had my headers and CBE installed at the same time so it was on the lift once at Fast Intentions. I dropped the car off at 8am and we left the shop at 4:30pm. That included a 15 minute run session to test for leaks and let it just run and break everything in, then a 30 minute ride around as Tony explaned to me how it would sound and how to break it in and everything.
Tony is usually really good on working out deals. I think since I got the whole package at once, I had the headers installed for free with the purchase of the LTH's + CBE and the CBE Install which was only like an hour and a half. So couldn't beat that deal...
Would I do it again... Absolutely. The only question that would be in my mind is if I was in another state that did smog tests every year... if so I would have gone HFC instead. But since AZ doesn't for every car 2007 and newer, I'm good.
I will eventually go F.I. and when I do, I'll sell the headers to someone looking to go SC or stay N/A. But between now and then, I'm happy with the performance/sound of these and will stand by them anyday. Yeah, VVEL cracking hasn't progressed (publicly) as far as I'm sure the community would like, but I'm not too quick to rush with something like that. When it's done, it's done and we can all benefit, but between now and then, I like what I have right now.
