Sorry Blacktibs, I couldn't find a camera to borrow 02.gif
Anyway, I got the rest of the exhaust parts and finished up the header with about 4 coats of silicon spray.
I just dropped the tib off at the shop this morning and should get it back by 4:00-5:00 today.
I'm sooooo excited, I can't wait to get it back!!!!
I told them to try and go for under-axle but we'll see how that goes.
some pics\/\/\/
I'll definitely find a camera and get some sound clips up in the next couple of days!

my VHT looked like it did when i coated it, a year after i sprayed/baked it. i couldn't tell you what it looks like now.
the wrapped header looks AWESOME.. good job.. should drop temps a good amount..
lots of resonators and stuff.. should be quiet.. DEMAND some HIGH quality clips when its done.

I was impressed how much header wrap dropped the temp in my engine bay. The header no longer radiates heat, it's just really hot now.

The shop just called, I should be getting the tib back around 12:00 tomorrow.
I HATE not having my tib, even for a day mad.gif
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Please tell me you didn't bake that in the same oven you cook food with. VOC's are not your friends.</div>
Actually I did, but luckily I move out in a month and will never have to use the oven again lmao.gif
I will clean it thoroughly for the next tenants though.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Dang son thats alot of resonator, post a vid when you get her on.</div>
I will ASAP.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Why no catalytic converter??
There's nothing wrong with clean air..</div>
Lol, I guess it does look a little small for a Cat.
I like clean air to, it's why I drive a fuel efficient car fing02.gif
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>That VHT paint doesn't hold up well over time. Starts to flake off.</div>
muhh, I wouldn't expect much better for 7.99 a can at Autozone.
I will hopefully be boosted within a year so it shouldn't matter that much laugh.gif

Thanks SOCKS!
Much appreciated, I'll get on those clips ASAP tomorrow fing02.gif
Well, I just got my car back.
I am very happy in terms of volume level. It is very quiet.
I does however sound very much like a fart cannon mad.gif
I'll have to wait and see how the sound changes after I get some miles on it.
Anyway, I'm going to Circuit City now to see about purchasing a Digi-Cam.
Hopefully I will have exhaust clip by the end of the day.
