Will do! I love getting car parts delivered to me.
But, I am an aftermarket header virgin...this will be my first time...I'm a bit shy and I hope it won' hurt much when thy are "installed". They seem so long. What if they won't fit???

I called up Summit Racing to see what was up about the other calls and they wanted to verify my order (I cancelled once and reordered within 2 minutes of each other because my computer was acting weird).
Anyways, I asked for the shipping date (before I continue, it was suppose to be 6/12 when I placed the order and then got pushed back to 7/2 when I called earlier this week). So the guy checks and says "WOW! there are a lot of orders for this and they aren't making the headers right now." So I guess DC isn't currently making the headers (BS I think) and now my shipping date has been moved back to 7/6 (only four days later
).

I finally got around to installing my headers today. One thing I recomend for any one is a racheting wrench for this project. There are two nuts that cannot be attacked any other way (trust me I know). Some interesting measurements I took while doing the job. The ports on the DC headers measure 44mmx32mm, to the cats is 55mm. The factory gaskets the same for the ports, to the cat it is 57mm (the cats entrance is the same). The stock manifold is 38mmx29mm on the port and 42mm to the cat. Overall I'm happy with the up grade. The exhaust note is deeper with no rasp. I am still running the stock cats w/nismo exhaust. And can feel (you know the a** dyno) most of the improvement at high rpm. Install time 12 hours including two trips to the store and lunch. Most of the job done with hand tool and on jack stands, used an electric impact where it would fit.
I was just told first week in july.

Just look at it as beta tester.. the people who ordered, will install and be happy. Then recommend them to others, then they make their money back..
