Okay, the moment that i have been waiting for! I finaly got my headers on! I feel a great amount of power! Love the sound it puts out.

My stock headers weight about 35 to 45 pounts each and the stock y-pipe weight about 15 pounts.

Here it is installed to my engine without my O2 sensors. Im still waiting on my O2 simulator so my check engine light would turn off. As you can see with the minimal spcae i had,, i struggled alot to get them on! Well worth it.

I removed the stock Catalyctic Converter since it was limiting my power and not giving out the sound i wanted. So i put in the test pipe in its place. Sounds great and i feel the power gain.

Here, my friend is working on my exhaust system. He is putting a magnaflow mufler on. I went custom this way since Cattman Performance was a bit pricy and Megan Performance was taking to long to ship the product to the U.S. This way was much cheaper and im getting what i want.

Here is the finish product. He didnt have a chrome finish magnaflow mufler so he put in a non chrome finish instead. It was abit less for the same sound and performance so what the heck lol. He also welded in some dual tips on to make it look nice. Im happy with the results.

Here is a shirt that Hot Shot performance gave to me as a gift. I now use it as a rag since the shirt doesn't fit lmao.

See you on the .org and wanted to comment on your question about gauges. You said you were at 140 and was worried about pressure. I wouldn't worry about it if your NA. If your FI then you should have gotten gauges a long time ago. From looking at a couple pages it looks like your NA so it shouldn't be a big deal. I've ran 155 in mine without redlining 6th without any problems and occasionally run 120 for a distance when late to work. Keep up the good work man!

yo what does the front strut bar do for the car? like im thinking of getting a front strut bar but i dont know if i should? i dont race or anything.. like will the strut bar still help? also is it easy to install so that i can install it by myself? i notice that most people get stillen strut bar but i see some other strut bars for 5th gen max for like 24 bucks.
