Doug Thorley Headers installed with MRT 1.0 (pics and video)
Just picked up my car with my Doug Thorley shorties installed. I already had MRT v1.0. My initial reaction is beyond anything I even expected. This may be the most exciting mod I have done to my car. The exhaust note is absolutely insane. The powerful and throaty sound it has is simply mind boggling. The power increase is definitely noticeable as well. The low end torque feels like it has really improved. I am 100% pleased and happy with these headers. Here's some pics and some videos:
Comparison pics to the stock headers: Picture of the header welded and ready to be installed.... Crappy cell phone video but still worth posting: |

Marley,
Sounds really great. I'm glad you're as pleased with them as I am. Look forward to your report on how this combines with the Injen. That is probably my next move unless Vararam gets its act together soon. |

Nice man. I ordered a set of DTH shorties right after the first batch came out. They should be here in a few weeks along with my Corsa cat-back. I think that set-up is gonna sound mean. How long did your install take?
