Okay, now that my wallet has had a chance to recover after this group buy, it would sure be nice to see a Downpipe GB on the JBP ones.
How about it JBP? I seen someone had already mentioned it. Any chances?

bowtie32 your header went out yesterday the way we discussed.

ajjaro;
As for cutting the firewall and CEL, you may want to have another shop look into it.
There is no reason to cut the firewall, for this or any other header.
Our header will NOT set a CEL, leading me to believe they have messed up something else on your car.

I will have Raptors car on the dyno this week, wed. or thursday night to verify the gains from a bolt on install only as previously discussed. Remember, stock down pipe and cat back still on the car.

Header is installed. Just got the car back from a local exhaust shop. After having the car gone since early Saturday morning, I can honestly say that this header was well worth the money and wait. The car pulls much harder in the low end and the sound is absolutely similar to a WRX or STi. Even my friend who owns and STi agrees. He's actually quite jealous of my setup.

STI's sound great. And now with cobalts sounding like that people are going to trip.

It's on every header. If you look in the stock headed it's on there too. It's almost like a curve if I'm correct. It's there so you can match up the header to the motor. I think it's on the motor too.
