Just installed FLP and observations inside
First, the quality of the product was awesome, I really liked what I received.
Second, the install was simple in my opinion. The stock exhaust came off in about 1hr 45 mins working by myself. I have installed alot of headers before on cars and these seemed to just drop in, it must have taken maybe 3 mins on each side to lower them in once the alternator and starter was removed. the rest of the exhaust was easy to line up also, I didn't think it was hard like most people claimed, but then again I took my time and kept everything loose until I had it where I needed everything. But my question is for others that installed FLP exhaust, does it seem like when accelerating under slight load, that the floor board seems to vibrate, or maybe it just the resoance in the headers.

I have never noticed that at all. My install didn't go very easy even though I did the same thing by leaving every thing loose before I tightened it up.

Dropping in the driver's side header was not exactly drop....it was more like an ultimate fighting championship match which took an hour.

First congrats on your FLP install for your going to love them... I did the install myself but took my time and about 5 hours in all to do everything. I don't have any of the vibration whatsoever that your are experiencing.. i am sure you will discover why that is happening... :cheers:
