Finally got my FI Long Tube Headers installed. Now I really need to get an UpRev-based dyno tune on this car soon. Only driven ~1hr and mostly in traffic since, but so far everything seems peachy.

I chickened out on doing it myself for once, Baker did the headers install (and also swapped out my 7AT fluid while the car was in there).

Many thanks to Jason and Paul @ Baker Tuning for handling this install. This was the first time I've entrusted my car to an outside mechanic for a parts install, and they did an awesome job and were a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them

Ah you're back! The headers seem like a pretty intense job. Are you using Baker for your uprev too?

Yeah, the headers are definitely the toughest bolt-on job on this car, outside of FI-related stuff. Lots of room for complications too (needing to replace studs, issues getting O2's off without damage, etc) that a fully equipped shop can deal with easier.

I haven't really settled on where to get the tuning done yet. I don't think Baker has a dyno though, so I'm not sure if they can help me on this. I guess I should ask their opinion though.
