I have the same header on my car, it’s looooooud. Vtec will make your ears bleed lol. I have a hi-flow cat, 8" resonator and 2.5" pipe and it’s borderline obnoxious. I think I’m going to replace the 8" resonator with something much longer.

LOL, I have pretty much the same setup now except I have a test pipe that came with the header, instead of a hi-flow cat

Still waiting for the money from ups, the thing that worries me is that since the kid that shipped it actually payed for the shipping he is getting the check and is suppose to be giving me 100% of it. Hopefully he is an honest guy because for all I know he could get 400 bucks and only give me a fraction of that. I dont think ups is allowed to release to me the amount of the check being payed out.

UPDATES:

Hood is 90% done. I primered it with some spray paint and found a couple more spots that need to be taken care of.

Just for reference this is how I got the hood. i think I did a pretty good job for me never doing it before.

This dosent even show any of the other dents on the surface of the hood.

I was beyond pissed. I took it to the cheapest private collision shop I could find and they said they wanted 900 to fix it LOL.

I faxed the estimate to the ups store the hood was shipped from. Hopefully I get back most of my money.
