FLP's rock
Yep yep. They're da' shiznat! Just as I knew they would be. I installed them in about 3.5 hours ( I didn't beat my record :(). HOwever I would have gotten them on in an hour less if I could've got the clamp to work the first time and I had to chase two threads with a tap in my heads to clean them out. Oh well, I got it on ;)
I installed them with the ORP (off road pipes) and GOOD GOD does it sound AWESOME with my PRT's! I LOVE it. There's a slightloss in low-end (due to the removal of the cats) but it PULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSS all the way to redline much harder. There is a DEFINATE sotp increase :yesnod: I'm thrilled.
The kit came with nice header gaskets, brand new bolts, beautiful coated pieces throughout. I'm very impressed. They put forth the same effort as they do for the F-Body FLP's. You cannot go wrong with these bad boys!
BTW, I just smoked a CBR 600 doing a test drive. I pulled him all the way through third and then I slowed down (abandon city road). He wouldn't look over at the light ;)
Thanks to Dan and Mitch @ FLP for making this happen for me. A superb product. Thanks guys.
PS: I will post sound clips in a bit ;)
