Talking I love surprises!

Today I installed my Nismo V1 kit on the car and slapped the Work S1's back on to see how they look. Killer!

So I then head out to see a friend in Springfield as his shop where he is taking the head off his M3. We put my car up on a lift because I wanted to drill some holes to finish mounting the V1 front lip securely. When we're under there he notices something.

Him: "Look at the size of those collectors. They're pretty damn big for a factory exhaust manifold..."

Examining closer- the collector color and diameter was about equal to the rest of the Nismo exhaust. Hmmm...looking closer...

"Holy ****, you have Nismo headers on here!"

Me: "Really? HELL YEA!!"

So now I've got Nismo V1 kit, Nismo intake, Nismo headers, Nismo catback, Nismo floormats and Nismo oil cap! When I bought the car I thought it only had the oil cap, floormats, intake and catback!

Ah, tried to get some pics of the headers today but it's hard to get a good shot of them through the engine bay!

If you look close you can see the discolored header tubes.

Your car looks great dude....keep those wheels!

The headers are definitely stainless and not cast, right?

Looks awesome, do you guys with front lips scrape in this area a lot? My last car was lowered with a stillen front lip and I never scraped. But this one I feel like it would be a pain in the *** to drive daily lowered with a lip.

Damn, your car is hot man, I love the look. Nismo headers are a nice bonus as well, tune that thing.
