Default PPE headers installed

Received my headers a couple days ago and got them installed yesterday. Craftmanship on these are incredible and install was 2 hours faster than my 2 other friends non PPE header install. I have the iss qes exhaust with resonators added. There is some drone on the freeway ,post header install,but nothing like it used to be with no resonators on the qes exhaust. During install I became a victim of the dreaded seized o2 sensors. One shop in SD had an o2 sensor but both were seized. At that point I wanted to cry.lol.I ordered the one in stock and got it in about ten minutes but called around and no one had anymore o2 sensors in stock. I wanted so bad to drive my car so we muscled the seized 02 sensors and they finally came out. Problem now was that the threads on both were shot so we had to rethread them. I got excited again but the threads were too short to make it work. One last shot with the other o2...my friend did his magic and it worked. drove around for about 200 miles and so far so good!! Sorry for the long post..lovin my new setup. Ill post pics and video later today . \

Good to read threads like these. It makes me less apprehensive to buy a set.
