#109748, "Obx header and Ebay short shifter installed"
Started the install early Sunday morning with the header and finished just as the sun was going down with the short throw. The header is an OBX Ceramic coated 4-1 header and the short throw is an ebay B&M type shifter. For the money both are great. I ran into a few problems trying to detach the flex pipe from the cat, the 2 bolts holding them together were impossible to get off, i had to take it to Monroe and have them torch the crap out of them to loosen em up. Short throw took me 25 minutes to install roughly, i opted for the 50% throw reduction and it feels wonderful, awesome, and tight. I am running an apc short ram, the header, and an Ebay muffler which came with the car, with oem exhaust piping and it sounds great, tbh. It has a little bit of a purr until about 4k and then starts to break up, really nicely though. I know these mods aren't much of a big deal, but these are the first mods I have put on myself and to be honest, the first time i really worked on my own car. Went on a few backroad runs this morning at around 2a.m and was so pleased with the performance for 225$. Thanks to 2gnt.com for the advice on the parts.

You get a nice sense of accomplishment and pride out of doing the work yourself. Have fun with the new parts
