Looks nice, that heat sheild is gonna help keep those hoses from getting too hot. I think that the sheild being secured to the engine and then to the front rad support is probably going to be a bad thing due to engine movement, I think it may flex and break eventually (the sheild).

2 months after my SVT header install...
WOW its still loud
I think everyone underestimates how loud a header actually makes the car sound (especially at wide open throttle.) I have learned to control the sound by applying the power gently then gradually pressing harder.
The car has a Jekyll and Hyde character now. One where I am trying to keep the noise output down by gentle applications of the throttle :ph34r: and the other, a screaming monster a full throttle :o .
