Here are a few sound clips (not the greatest quality due to the poor noise suppression of the recording device).

Dang-it! Got an error on all three. Maybe my browser???

"Cannot open the file. Verify that the path and filename are correct and try again."

Edit:

I tried 3 different browsers and got the same error. Wonder if it's our firewall?

It's not completely optimized yet... just give it a minute or two

How long does it normally take?

It still says optimizing.

4 years, thanks for the soundbites. When driving in traffic, can you keep from being so loud if you don't throttle up so much. I'd love to put a mid pipe on but I don't want to stand out so much. All I have right now is the RB exhaust and Revi intake. Don't think I will go the header rought. Also, don't remember reading but did you wrap your headers? Those puppies do get just a tad warm!

They do get warm but there is more space between the stock header and the oil metering pump. It is something I may look into though.

Since it has been up there for a while now I looked at the plug on the oil metering pump and it hasn't melted more than what the stock header did.

With the RB dual exhaust you should be okay with a midpipe. I heard an 8 with the RB and a midpipe and was expecting it to be much louder.

I didn't mention that the sound clips were with the window open.

The last one I was cranking on it some. It is loud but since I put it on I have heard louder.

RX-XSIV, That was not a 20-30hp gain, it was re-cooping the lost hp from the old worn out plugs.

Great info!
When I have them install my obc header and exhaust, I will have them install something to protect them wires aswell.

I checked them when I installed the turbo. Everything was fine and I ran the stock cat for a while before putting the turbo in.

I should post the header for sale, not sure yet, maybe a local guy would want it.
(If there is a local guy pm me )

The DEI heat shield material works very well.

Protects it running the turbo and it is much closer than the OBX header.
