Congrats and welcome to the SIKKY club! You car sounds bad @$$!!! Did you dyno the car before and after the install? I totally agree with about the drop in MPG. I can't keep my foot off the gas now! Good times!!!

No I didn't get a chance to do a before due to work and schedule stuff since the dyno I like to use is on the other side of town. I will be doing an after though but first I'm hitting up the drag strip on Wednesday to see if I do any better than last time. Its hot as heck out but I'm just curious to see how I'll do.

Sweet, keep us posted. I am curious to see how well the F does on the strip with headers. Good luck!

Oh wow stage 1 picture shows the welds isn't even a perfect circle...that would interupt in air flow for sure and won't gain maximum performance...

sarcasm aside, that is right. seeing as the header tubes are smaller than the exhaust ports on the head, bigger means more flow. perfect circles are near impossibly by hand, and even more difficult given their starting points in stage 1 photo. with those raised welds there would be far more dead air causing restrictions then there will be with smoothed and rounded edges. stage 3 will be wrap, which will increase temp in headers, lower gas density and improve flow further.

i wonder how long it will be before someone comes on and preaches about the problems with wrap?
