Default Melrose headers going in today

After putting in my new Engineered Cooling Products radiator
and redoing my BOV recirculation again to be silent! (hate that BOV noise) decided to go with the Melrose Jet Hot coated longtubes and catted Xpipe.
Will see if they fit as pretty as they look.







Went from this which still had a chirp on moderate throttle



to this now silent more tortured speed up slow down return path

Don't see them advertized on the board here by resellers but someone mentioned them in a post so I looked them up.
I wanted the coating to keep temps down and they had 2 sets sitting ready to go.
I got them in 2 days.
Melrose sells direct for 1577.00 with shipping which is not bad for Jet Hot coated longtubes and their 3" SS Random cats and Xpipe.
