Ricks Header
Went to ALM this morning to have my new header fitted.
Well it doesn't look a lot different as it is well covered up by the heatshield.
Certainly feels different though and the old one weighs a bloody ton in comparison.
Apparently is was a complete barstool of a job as all the bolts had seized the car is only 18 months old.
The car feels a little more responsive and seems to get up to speed a little quicker. Hard to tell of the 'butt-dyno' though and lets face it I would say it felt better having spent xxx on it.
Total cost:
Parts/Shipping -

Heatshield seems fine. I must say although it ALM ages to fit they do seem to have done a cracking job.
I can't really hear the difference like some people have said they could.
I've just asked out internal people to arrange somewhere local as I'm struggling to find anywhere to stay.
