Im doing a build and headers are on my list.
The quality is good. Everybody has the preferences. The only problem I had was making right turn the joint that connects the steering column and the rack it would hit so I grind end the joint enough that it would clear so no more hitting. I paid $125 used not bad guy only had them for a month and got rear ended.

Good thing I added the 10hp 5/8 spacer... sounds like I'm even now.

No clue on who makes the intake, I just cleaned up the filter.

It's the best option I had. Since there was no OEM box available when I picked up this car. Most likely will make a heat shield when I get some free time. Not a big fan of the tucked low filters as Hydro-lock scares me.

Also added this... a must for cold weather.

For it to be even from the claimed benifits of your spacer, the outside temp would need to be over 140 degrees.

Finishing up the day with mounting my cruise control on the dash. My car is close to track only, but I still drive it to events. 230 miles drives to Cali tracks suck without cruise control.

I've wired a couple of units and is fine. I actually just wire it w the ground wire(black) on harness. You guys can buy the "bypass" crap if you want to spend the money. Some people wire it to a toggle switch etc. whatever floats your boats.
That doesn't work on the new pioneers.
