This is the tech/performance section right, I think the waxer's, err I mean appearance/detailing section is down there somewhere?

So if I go for, let's say Pro Charger S/C over the Vortec S/C because I think it looks cleaner I should post the results in the detail section. Very interesting, but WRONG!!

I am one of the people not happy with fit and finish of the unit and its good to see that Vararam is working on it. It may not look the best but it definitely works and thats what matters most to me. I have contacted Vararam and I have asked them to send me the updated upper box, I will give an update once I receive it.

)...and yes waxers have their own section. Why flame someone because they don't want to mod their car? I don't get it and I am doing quite a few mods to my car.
BTW...My LG Headers are well put together and very beautiful...kinda like a work of art. They must be an appearance mod right
