Nice, but I'd leave the heat shield on the headers. I know it looks like **** but all the heat coming from the headers spreads into your engine bay and heats the air going into your engine, lowering efficiency.

Or you could get aftermarket headers. I'd go with legal ones, they may cost more but they're common so not much more.

DC does the best job with headers and you should get a classier intake system, not one that costs $10 at your local hardware store. Either that or "approve your intake yourself" from Pepboys in the box.

Looks good. Glad to see you upgraded from such a misfortunate event

Ouch. I wouldn't dare say that DC sports carries the best quality header . Although decent for the price, there are many better ones out there including the JDM ITR header IMO.
