Too bad on the trip. Let us know when the next is.

Will do.

The white car and the blue car show the x pipe difference pretty well in this video.

With OEM muffler I would expect your car to sound a little better than the first because of the better flowing headers (even if marginal).

Interesting. I'm really curious how it will sound. I know a muffler will be the deciding factor in the sound but I can't really justify that cost at the moment.

I have to agree with both Sean and Seth Gary. In the end you'll be much happier

Edit: sorry to hear your trip got cancelled. Just make sure you set aside plenty of time to do this. I'm sure plenty of choice words will be said throughout your install Be sure to point out issues to watch out for so us late guys will be aware when we get to ours

Well I have 5 days off to get er' done!!

Take your time, don't remove the A/C lines lol, use silicon or rtv to hold the gaskets to the head when installing headers, and hopefully you won't pull too many studs. I did the tighten and the loosen and tighten and loosen all the way on the nuts which served me well. I had two studs come out which required the double nut to reuse the stud (two nuts to get the stuck nut off of the threads). It is suggested to use corks on the coolant lines but that didn't work so have thick latex gloves and plenty of rubber bands around. I didn't loose much coolant but it did leak overnight because rubber band wasn't tight enough.

Got that one bookmarked. Read it several times already. Did you siphon out the coolant from the exp tank before removing it?

No it's actually not needed. You can actually tilt the tank so it won't drain and then add the glove/rubber band. The lower tube is the one that leaks if you leave it (tube that connects to the other side of the hose from the tank.

Cool. I wasn't sure about the SS look but it's kinda growing on me.

Oh, I think the SS looks good on that color. On my black car, I preferred a black frame.
