The difference is that is with Ford racing parts (similar to Nismo parts but more options). Ford allows you to order almost anything and put it on your car with a full warranty but you also pay 10-20% more for that warranty plus install.

I don't what's funnier, the explosion or the "515hp" from an 8 PSI, W2A Stillen kit.

I just read this whole thread, that engine definitely blew up due to the addition of headers. The car has to be re tuned when changes are made that make the engine more efficient!! Stillen even states that the s/c kit is meant to be used with the stock exhaust manifolds.
