Well hopefully you don't have the same problem I did which is my injen exhaust wasn't even welded properly and I didn't know it until the pipe came completely off of the flange.

Installed mine on Friday. Took 7 hrs to get it done. I didn't have to remove the coolant hard pipes or coolant but did have to remove the a/c pump to get at the driver side front nut. The only thing I can say is thank god for the swivel head 14mm ratchet wrench. That is the only tool I could not have done the install without. I will NEVER do that install again....my arms look like they went through hell.

They seem to have a little more midrange torque and I was surprised how much louder they are in the higher rpm's than with the stock manifolds. Power seems good.

I have the DC headers, R/T Cats, Nismo Y-Pipe and Fujitsubo exhaust and it sounds Great. I would have liked everything a little louder. But overall I like the set-up.

Since you've gone this far add hi flo cats. This will really tune the exhaust. The test pipes are what make the exhaust sound raspy and loud.

I took my test pipes out and put my cats back in.....no more raspiness but is still really loud in the higher rpm's. Much louder in the upper rpm's with the cats than with the stock manifolds and test pipes. You're right with the test pipes, headers, and stock exhaust my car sounded like #@&#

I called Summit yesterday to check status on my stainless header order. They called back today and said the manufacturer anticipates shipping at the end of August.

That's about the setup I'm going to do (except Crawford Cats). How much louder or did the tone change when you added the headers and Cats?
Thanks.

My expected delivery date went from 7/9/04 last week to 8/20/04 today i guess it's worth the wait to get them at half price.

I think this is the exact reason why Summit racing is doing all of this..just to get you guys to cancel your orders one by one, so that they won't lose as much money on these orders.

I don't belive that for anything. I would stick it out, the money saved will be worth it.
