vibrant j-spec 4-2-1

should be installed within a week or two... more pics when that's done :p
hopefully it performs well ;)

wow nice pick ... How much do you pay for it and where did you get it from? (if you don't mind sharing )

local in london - unauthorized performance.. and price... under 500 after tax

vibrant has it listed for $536usd.. so i figure my price was good..

though i still hate the price of headers lol

shiny

looks sexy man. Goodluck with the installation!

Looking good, now slap it on!

PJ, did you wana explain your statement of the header being sexually attractive to you ?? :P :D lolll j/k

awaiting my buddy to get back from maryland to weld it up for me with my other exhaust parts.. will get pics of the whole thing along the way :)

what needs to be welded?

^ thats what im thinking, isnt it just like 7 bolts up top and two at the flange on the bottom. I dont think theres any need for welding.

things not installed yet:
header (no welding required for this)
magnaflow highflow cat (need to put flanges on both sides, plus needs to be moved back as this header is larger than oem)
magnaflow 18" resonator (need to put flanges on both sides and cut a space in the exhaust to put it in, and put flanges on the piping for it... or just weld both ends)
magnaflow 2.25" oval muffler (want to either weld or put a flange on the inlet end)

right now i have:
oem header->oem cat->2.25" stainless piping->ractive fireball muffler

these 4 things above need to be installed

so.. sorry, i guess the header specifically doesn't need welding, but i'm awaiting installation to do it all at once, so welding in general is needed
