Not much in the line of pics to post, theyre pretty hidden unless you lean over to the side.....but yeah you'll love them.

I thought I wanted LT headers for the longest time... I'm highly considering shorties now though =o And I think I would get DT as well. IVAN WHERE ARE YOU? PM ME PRICE! =D (pun intended)

Here are a few pics (below). The last ones are of the drive home. What a PITA! We're getting more snow here in Cleveland. Sound wise, it's maybe just a bit different at idle, but I didn't hear a significant change. I can't really say how much of a change there is performance wise, because I could barely give it any gas the whole trip home:( I gave it a few revs at the shop (while in park), and when I got home, and that still sounded really nice. I'll have to do some cruisin' around once the roads are clear. Anyway, from what I've seen and heard, it's lookin' good so far. No CEL or other problems so far

I will have these installed this week. Having a very difficult time finding someone to do any sort of tune on the car. But from what I've been reading from you all, it doesn't look like the DT's throw codes. So until then, I'll just have them installed and hope for the best.

Amenti · 02-05-2011, 03:37 PM

I haven't heard of a single case where DT Shorties have caused a code to be thrown, including mine. I've had them on for just about 8000 miles now.

Man I'm glad I'm IN SOCAL! and those do look mighty familiar!. Yeah I noticed a subtle change in sound at idle, mostly the neat "tinny" header sound but better in the higher rpm ranges.You'll like the more you use em.

Sicilian Medic · 02-05-2011, 05:27 PM

I can't wait!!

Can't_C_Me · 02-05-2011, 05:49 PM

Did the dealer install them for any of you? Or was it done by a regular shop? I'm getting my DT shorties also along with the BBK 2 1/2 exhaust W/ x pipe and MRT V2!
