Took 3.5 hours.

Install went smooth.

Power is very nice, Sound is even better.

Great upgrade.

No Pics during the install, Ill take some finished pics.

So for other plaining this install.

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 .
