I have a video clip of mine with PPE headers with hi-flow cats and my fabricated dual exhaust system using the stock mufflers.

If you haven't installed the PPE headers, have the drivers side replaced with the new one, if you have and dont feel like pulling it back out, mark up the steering coupler and pull it out, its easy. You do have to go to town grinding though. 1-1.5 millimeters. Man, what a difference when it doesnt make all that racket.

Trap speed=FTW

I recall last summer when I hit my 12.50 in my FWD Legend. I was dissapointed 'cause its got tons of power and even with 10.5 slicks loses traction, but then I snapped off a 122mph and I lit up with delight. I can live with an 11 sec trap in a full interior FWD sedan!

i have the joe-z exhaust and intake, and the guys at ppe contacted me just in time about the header, they are proactively sending a new driver side one.

was about to get it done this weekend, heh. looks like it'll be a few , but least they are proactively hooking people up

Sometimes it pays to be patient. I'm glad I didn't rush to get these or any header when they were first released.

The PPE looks to be the better choice from what I've seen on here and if I were to get headers they would be my choice.

It's also good to see that they are standing behind product and correcting issues as they arise.

That sounds nice but I'm sure it's even better in person.
