Header from RRM installed!

Sorry for the bad quality picture, I will get better as soon as my phone is fixed I had to use my friends for the time being.

My mechanic took the cat converter out to install the header and the downpipe, it has a great sound going into my catback flowmaster exhaust system.

So far everything is great, I may in a few months put a cat converter back on to avoid the hefty fine or no smog pass though

Is this what I should install if I get a fix-it ticket ROCK?

I may just buy this from you guys so that I have it incase a cop pulls me over. Also the power increase in my car is f-ing amazing, it picks up so fast.

The gains are noticeable, on the highway going 50+ and applying pressure to the gas gives a quick and responsive jump in speed. Off the linke I haven't played with too much, I'm going to go out later tonight and check it out, I know the gain low end is good as well though because I floored it going up my street (flat street) up to about 30 mph and the front wheels had a hard time getting traction at first as I kept the pedal on the floor.

ive been waiting for this to come out and want it so bad. but over the past week or two ive really started considering saving up for the turbo. especially once we hear back from the to auto guys that are getting it done. It'll take me almost a year probably to save up but if i do it it'll be well worth it.

and tell me if i'm wrong but this header/DP would get replaced if i went RRM turbo right?

Yep, this will all get replaced if you get the turbo.

I'm staying N/A with my auto and I ordered my header a little while ago. I ordered mine from RPW with a high-flow cat though. I'm working on setting up dyno times right now so that I can get before and after dyno results. I'll let everyone know how it goes with the dyno results hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

the reason I think I'm going to put the cat converter back on is that without it it's just too loud, almost like a raspy loud instead of the deep sound I like.
