Unable to do it. I tried uploading and it says it's missing a security token. Matter of fact, I can't post pics either in garage or on profile. It even rejected my notice to the web administrator. That's a shame.

Vengeance Racing did all my mods last week

Upload to youtube, then copy the PmL15ZTaLBY with [u2b] tags, i.e.

Good video because it shows how a stock exhaust system sounds with headers. Many here, (including me), believe that headers with the stock mufflers is an ideal combination. It's a perfect set up to get a good balance between loud at WOT, and no drone freeway cruising.

Great video! How long did it take to install the headers? I'm still trying to decide if I want to try this by myself or not...

Although we had the car in the shop for about 3 hours, my mechanic friend dealt with other customers and other issues for at least an hour. So, in all, probably 2 hours. You can install them yourself. The entire exhaust system is really well done and there were no problems at all. They say you need 24 inches of clearance underneath, but I think that was because they removed the factory headers with the cats installed. We took them apart and I can't see that you need that much space. Some instructions say to take the steering linkage apart, but we found that unnecessary for any part of the install. It was actually fun and I know I could have done it. Good luck.

That is what I love about Borla, the deep 'Big Block' sound. I was afraid it might be too loud. I asked my neighbors this afternoon and they said it is not too loud. They have three young children and I start it up in my garage at about 6 am every work day. I told them that in the future, if the windows are open and me starting the car wakes any one of them, I will fix it

Borla...nice

I sure like the sound. With all your mods, have you run it in the quarter mile or the eighth? I am going to our little track here tonight. Excited to see what it will run with the new headers.
