Stillen header issue finally fixed

There were a couple of people that had issues with them lining up - including someone who had to cut their HFC and re-weld it.

Damn, looks like I missed a bullet for a change. Usually take them in the middle of the chest and go down hard.

For sure was blindsided by the 02 issue. Just hope everyone knows the 02's are $425.00 each, basically weld themselves into the exhaust manifolds and not try and take them out while still on the car or you can screw them up very easily. (like me)

Please do all of us a favor and dyno your car so we know exactly what we are getting performance wise. I did intake, headers and exhaust at the same time so to my knowledge there is no baseline. Guessing between 4-6 real world hp gain.

What's up with all this Stillen exhaust quality related issues??? Really lost all respect that I had for them.

Obviously I did. Thanks!

This shooting for the moon stuff doing mods sure is fickle at times. Is the power gain worth it.....obviously, no. Would I probably do it again knowing how to do the 02 sensors. Maybe. Still a real, real tuff job.

Thanks again.
