Default just installed new Tpis headers

Hi,
Just got my new Tpis long tubes installed on my 2002 coupe. Wow, what a difference. Acceleration is quicker and the SOTP feel is very good. I'd recommend them to everyone. The mechanic that installed them said they fit perfectly.

Got them from Xtreme. Here's the good part: Ordered on line and they were shipped right away. Problem 1: They shipped the wrong ones (early C5 type).
Problem 2: I did not know they were the wrong ones. Solution: I received a telephone call from Xtreme saying they were checking their paperwork and noticed they shipped me the wrong ones and wanted to let me know before it was too late. They quickly shipped the later version and everything worked out OK.

Now that's what I call great customer care!
