I got the Borla headers installed tonight, and I took plenty of pictures. It took about 9 hours to do the job. I haven't driven it yet, but it sounds good idling.
Thanks for all the tips and forewarnings! [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
Hey Stan,
I did mine 2 weekends ago and the same 9 hours for headers, and an hour to do the wheel wells and clean up. Mine sounds good at idle also but i still have the rattle snake sound when accelerating? how bout you, same sound?
Hey You did a GREAT JOB !!!and good pics...
So how much are you going to charge Borla for the adapter??? [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Maybe you could join their research and development dept and finaly fix this issue...Look forward to hearing the rest of the story(Performace)
Ps. I'll take 2 fittings to go please

You guys might cringe a little when I tell you that my dad made the fitting at the General Motors plant he works in. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
So far I'm really liking the headers. Nice rumbly idle, and it purrs going down the road. Not a V-8 sound, but not wimpy sounding either. I had the battery disconnected for a couple days and the computer is still relearning. The engine definitely feels more powerful, especially when you put the pedal to the floor! If I can figure out a way to record the sound I'll get some .wav files on the website.
