lol, if you find one let me know. we can send them a LOT of headers.

Their coating has outlasted (not a chip, peel, or fade) my friend's swain coating by a long shot. We both beat on our cars/autox/etc...

Finished my installed and drove my car home , It was well worth the work put in, the turbo is amazing!!! I can't get over how fast it was spooling instead of waiting for 5000+ rpms , I was hitting mass boost at 4000rpm around 36-38psi and I'm not even tunned so I didn't push it I was only doing 5th gear boosting to keep a eye out on the wideband. I have a short video for you guys to check out

Finished hooking up the lines.







Talk about a tight fit!
