They did mine and I love them. With my Corsa's they sound vicious. I need to get up there and get retuned. System was down when I had the install. Might get up there Thursday - so maybe I'll see ya.

Make sure Chris gives you the good beer.

Ask them where the bathroom is when you get there. Don't forget snacks and a thermos of coffee.

P.S. Ask Chris if the paint for Mickey's roll bar is in yet.

Yea it will help in two areas more rigid and keeping the inside cooler around the tunnel from the new heat from the headers

Wires are a no-brainer
