thats great to hear, perhaps i'll place my order sometime this week.

is there anything special we have to do to get the extractors with the 02 bung on them or just call up vision and say you want some rpw goodness?

Not at all. It has a deeper tone overall but still within acceptable limits of noise control. I've noticed more power definitely on the top end and a little on the low end. What I have noticed the most is that the engine is working much less to get to and maintain power/speed. I am now running about 2500 RPM in 4th gear at about 65 mph. After I get some more time in it I'll post some more specifics.

I think we can squeeze a few more people in although i think with changes in the exchange rate there may be an additional $10.00 US$ on top of the previous prices.
We are currently out of stock but have more sets being made right now which will be availbale in aroudn 2 weeks time

Talking

Love the header. You can feel the kick it give you. It's reelling pick up on about 3000 to 5000 rpm's

OK, i recieved my RPW header today. It has no o2 sensor bung anywhere on either piece.

I just got off the phone with Vision Imports and they said they would be contacting RPW tonight to see what the deal was. They also told me that the best option for placement of the o2 sensor bung is to drill into the flexpipe and weld the bung there. for some reason, i dont like the idea of drilling into the flexpipe...

anyone have any ideas or comments?

Same thing happened to me. I had a shop drill near the top of the right-most pipe (looking at the header installed). I have had mine on for a month now with no CEL.

The new batches of headers we aer making will have the O2 sensor fitting located undrilled in the front header.

The last set we sent out was the last of the old batch made hence why it wasn't there.
