Default Decided to polish up my header to make way for its new friend

Well a while back I had posted a poll on what exhaust to purchase either the buddy club pro spec II or the Apexi N1.

Well I made my decision and decided to go with the T1R full catback. While I was pulling the exhaust off in preparation for the T1R I decided to remove the **** poor looking comptech header and clean her up a little. When I purchased the car the header was the first thing I noticed (because it looked like a big rust bucket)

Well I sanded it down with some fine grit sand paper and took some mothers billet polish and I must say it turned out very well. I power washed the inner piping as well. I know that it will eventually look the same again, but I've had some extra time to kill so I did it anyways.

I'll have pics of the T1R when it arrives in the next couple of days.

Jerry
