yes likely, but since I also found a crack on one of the header tubes, wich i allready "fixed", it sound 10 times better than before, but yes, i got to fix that other leak.,, oh yeaa and all that smoke is from the wrap's initial burn in process.

I am glad that you like it, and is it loud at all?

Is not! I was surprised, it only gets kind of low at wot, but its a nice low refined rumble, reason being is that the tip funels into the muffler making the actual opening a bit smaller than the diameter of the tip, good stuff!, and im glad i bought it of of you thanks!, once I fix that leak Ill take a better video, hopefully capturing the sound at its best.

Now that the header is wrapped expect a lot more cracks from it. While it blocks heat, the wrap also retains moisture, rotting the piping out 10x as fast.

so your running a 3.5" exhaust on a n/a setup?

^ yeap I know, got to think ahead though,,, ka-t is in my future.
About the wrap keeping moisture, I've heard about that, so I also got some ceramic paint to go with it, hopefully keeping some moisture out.
Congrats on your purchase!
I am sooooooooo jealous right now :P
Looks good :)

if youre thinking ahead, you should know that you need a turbo header for your future turbo =P

Even 3.5 inches is big for a KAT. I ran 3 inches on my KA and even I say that's the max for it.

KAs love BIG Piping. you know, just like the girls. They don't want it just enough, they want it BIGGGG. BTW where did you get the header wrap from?? I'm looking at ceramic-coating my header and heat wrapping as well.

i think when he said that, he meant the exhaust was ready for a turbo..not the headers...i dont think he's stupid, giving him the benefit of the doubt.

headers came with the car, I just purchased the catback for all of you wondering :P, by the way i fixed my leaks, man I love the sound, to give you and idea, I can also hear my intake wot, its just like the exhaust and intake being synchronized to play a perfect harmony!,
My wrap (1"x50') is from DEI so is the ceramic coating, I got two cans one silver and the other one black, i paid $67 shipped for all, and im reaally happy with it, my car was idleing for about half an hour and I could still put my hand 1.5" away from the headers!
