No comment on anything else guys, sorry - I've already said too much. When it's done, it's done

When I was N/A I had the XERD long tube headers and they were a very well made header with decent gains. I don't know if they are still around, but I do know they were a PITA to install and I even had access to a lift to do them.
Ran the XERDS to Injen exhaust and the rasp drove me nuts

so i was going to go with megan racing long tubes because they have a gaurantee to fit and a one year warranty against cracking, but they were 390 bucks plus shipping. so i went with ebay long tubes for 200 bucks. today i got a package that arrived at my house.... megan racing long tubes with certified warranty and reciept. haha. got the same thing for hundred less.
unfortunately, i wont be putting them in very soon as i have a built bottom end being put together at my friends ferrari race shop. so i wont able to do a before an after comparison. compared to a friends xerd headers, these are identical in quality and design.

That's so retarded. Take it somewhere that specializes in VQs.

I was just laughing at his "Ferrari race shop" reference, like that gave some kind of stature or credibility... Seamed more like a "knucklehead teenager trying to impress his buddies" thing to say. Lol~ All in fun. :-)
