Please fill in the blanks...is all of it custom or JUST the little merge collector? If the only custom piece is the merge collector what Y-pipe are you using (that bolt's up to the headers)? What is the diameter size of each pipe? Thanks for your help...

DAMN, Im jealous!!! I gotta get my exhaust guy to change my setup to this. I know im missing HP that I have the potential to have. Im 430 & Im missing these #'s by 18hp & 30tq. Thats way too much. My headers are still leaking & Im thinking about buying new ones or just having my PRO exhausts guy fix my S&S. So while Im there, might as well change my setup to this. Got my Email from Paul for US 5 guys that got the S&S from them, this is what it has to say. Its good news.

Hey Barron.
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. We have been slammed all week. I went over the numbers and the best I can do is 33.33% off. This discount is exclusive our customers that bought the S&S headers version. That would make it $400.00 + shipping.

Best Regards,

It's all custom excluding the Tanabe Medalion Touring axle back.
This thread has pictures and details of the exhaust before the headers and new y-pipe and merge.

That is a great addition. The craftsmanship looks excellent!
Let us know if this becomes available to the masses.

On the never ending quest for more power I'm thinking about tuning the car.
I want something that won't be overridden by the ECU or mess with the VVTi. Do I need a standalone unit like the Greddy Ultimate or will the Apexi Neo work?

The Neo should work...obviously it won't be as good as a standalone but it is also a fraction of the price. The Neo is a good quality unit, I had it on my car for over 3 years now! IMHO I think I was one of the first to have this on a NA GS4XX.

This thread has been very quiet.
Has anyone else installed their headers?
My car is running great.

I haven't kept track of the miles, but they have been installed for a month.
I had the motor and trans mounts replaced.
I'm lucky I have a good friend who owns a repair shop.

Installed them myself. It was such a PITA! Took me 2 1/2 days. One day just to figure out how to get them motor mounts out.
