I have the same set up on mine and absolutely LOVE it! Agree with the neighbors not being the biggest fan of this set up lol. Definitely recommend the set up to anyone, I get compliments on all week long. Enjoy!

Sounds like you researched a lil more than I have so far. Guess I will be forked over a lil more cash for these. Thanks for the heads up!

I have a set of Stainless Work Headers in my garage for install.

Is it ok if I thread jack this and ask how the install went?

I bought my headers from from a forum member and got the headers only. I ordered a set of gaskets. I was going to order the extention wires for the o2's from ebay but I don't know the length to get.

Is there anything else that came with your kit? Or does it mount straight to the stock exhaust?

The install was relatively easy except for removing the O2 sensors. I had to go get new ones and in order to do that I had to go-to 4 separate stores to get them for a 2014 haha.

I used the factory gaskets and I ordered high flow cats with the system. To be honest I wouldn't bother installing the headers until you get the HF cats. And I dont trust eBay at all...I have had a few real bad experiences with orders from there, I would search the thread to see if you can find the length of the extensions or try to contact Stainless Works and ask them for the specs.

One more thing, if you have to disconnect the steering shaft take a white out pen and mark the shaft and try to be very careful not to move the wheel. But, if you do the white out will make it easy to line back up. You can try it without removing the shaft but I had to.

Love the Sound of My Retro Catback.

Im currently running just the Catback with Solo High flow cats, no headers.

But i do have a TVS2300 supercharger making it louder. I cant imagine how louder this setup is going to get this spring when i add Catless Longtubes to it......
