and oh. i got my car back tonight with fresh bodykit and tornado red paint job... lookks beautiful and shiny. a few downfalls like uneven fitment from bad molding when it was made. but was fixed as best it could be..... i'll get some photos up here tomorrow

Well from what I heard, the fitment is not good. It's in the same league as the SSAutoChrome Headers. The first batch were good, afterwards, they had issues. The manifolds they make are made out of thin tubing and they are prone to rust and warping. I'm not sure about the headers. If the price is right (below $200 usd) I'd buy it. You can always have the flanges milled straight for you. The second bung is also for an O2 sensor. California cars have 2. You can buy an oil plug that screws into that hole to plug it, or you can have a muffler shop or whoever weld over it. Either way works.

well... just make sure the header seals properly! it sounds SO much better without a leak. I got to drive mine around for a day until the tranny snapped! I was driving by every wall and through every tunnel just to hear it reverberate... it was worth the cassh in my mind.
