It was one of the most enjoyable mods that I have had done this far .
I got the header from. http://www.coasttocoastusa.com/zenca...e=products_all

cost was $750.00 with $7 handling (no shipping) good company to work with as well.
Install :::: I had it installed , but watched .did not seem to bad and on seeing it done would not hesitate to do another myself.

I had a nice 150 mile motor home ,mostly interstate .So it was a blast to go through differant rpm bands .after the settling in and burn off it was a pleasure to hear .My catback is a magnaflow so its not quite but the tone now is ,to my ears supreme .A most definate throaty roar ,absolutly not Rice
SOTP feel .Another , well if you have had the pulley done .Remember how you felt on the first drive off . Same with this . Incredible . Gas mileage has seemed to have improved a little .I also have updated the MTH file .

The quality of the product ,welds etc. was great. Only thing that I was suprised at was there was no new gaskets in the box .but for an extra $13 and change no biggy.

Hope that helps you mate .

i'll jump in again and say (remove the heat shields) this will make it so much easier. then just put em back. it's at least 3 hrs . done comfortably on your back the sound is great! makes cat back seem tame. the power comes in after the ecu learns the header. but i'd say 10 any way. have fun .
