Nothing that i kno of yet
Yea got them in on monday night started at 10 pm and finished around 5 am did it by myself so took a little longer then expected. As far as the headers itself they fit decently. Passenger side slid in pretty easy, driver side was a little tougher and actually broke a couple of my spark plugs trying to get it in. They did send me the wrong 02 extensions, i believe they were for a c5 even though i managed to make them work it was extremely upsetting. The passenger side 02 is a little to close to the firewall so i'll have to monitor that and see if it becomes a problem. The slip in method was a pain in the *** when working on your back. X pipe was a PIA to slip into the headers and I actually had to bang it a bit to make them fit but other then that car sounds great. It really woke my cam up and I get it tuned Sat so looking forward to it.

I did have a few places peel off but that was more from me rubbing them against the ground due to ground clearance but we'll see how they hold up

As long as they don't start rusting in the spots where the coating has peeled off, I'll be happy. I mean, these are cheap headers, but at least they seem well constructed.

Kinda looking to purchase a set of this headers and x pipes, still shopping around, would love to hear some more reviews. After your tune how many HP did you increased?-just from the headers? Did you have to re-adjust them after a couple of miles? Any noise or crackling? Coating is thick or hair thin?Thanks for your help

Hey buddy sorry didn't see this until now. As far as HP i wouldn't be able to tell you as i cammed my car and then did long tubes right after before i got a tune so dont have any actual numbers for you man. I did have to re adjust the driver side as I had a exhaust leak coming out of the heads/headers as i used cheap exhaust gaskets but replaced and all good now. It is a little noisier but nothing crazy and it definately gave my car a more aggresive sound which might be more of the cam being able to breathe though. Coating is pretty light tbh so be careful not to drag them against the ground. Only thing that I didn't like was that they sent me the wrong 02 connectors but didn't have time to wait for them to ship me others so got some locally as I was getting it tuned a couple of days after.
