Top Speed Header/High Flow Cat Install TODAY!! Whats up people...I just woke up not too long ago, and was feeling all tingly inside like it was X-mas kuz I got my Top Speed Header/High Flow Cat. I took pics for you all to see and I hope you enjoy them. I also took a comparison picture of the DC Sports Ceramic Header Vs. Top Speed Stainless Steel Header! Some of you want to see the size difference.....the DC Header DOESN'T COMPARE to this beast!!
As soon as I am done installing it and taking it for a test run I will post my thoughts about the sound of my exhaust after I install the header, what range in the rpm band I felt the most push, etc. All my after thoughts are coming up soon, so enjoy these pics of the headers and comments and opinions are welcome!! I'm one bad *** **** now!@!

Rep Power: 312 Can you clear a few things up for me? Did the header and cat come as a package or did you purchase them seperately? If seperate, is the cat a random tech cat? I heard those don't seem to fit right....not sure exactly.
Anyhow, thanks for the info

Rep Power: 319 FINALLY! I got my car back!! And I can definitely say that the $250 bux u spend on this header is DEFINITELY worth it...the sound of my exhaust is noticably louder...i mean like 2x louder...it sounds awesome....and gains, throttle response.....damn, i got off quicker, alot quicker and i definitely felt pull thruout the ENTIRE powerband...its like my car just wanted to GO! I definitely recommend this header/high flow cat to anyone who wants a stainless steel header....this is the BEST investment I have made to my car so far. I give it 2 thumbs up, WAY UP! Be it, its not turbo or anything and my words may sound exaggerated to some, but this Header rocks!!
It pulls hard, acceleration is alot quicker, and man, just get it!! I am going to see if I can schedule a dyno over at a shop in sac or folsom or somewhere....but man, this header is off the HOOK!!

Rep Power: 319 R3DL1N3: to answer your questions, the holes on the downpipe/high flow cat are for the 02 sensors to plug into.....there is no need for an 02 sim....and the CEL never comes on....you gotta ask Circa-X if he can sell you the downpipe seperately...i think he can work wit you...
snoopbag: yeah man, i've got an EX and there was no need to cut a damn thing off my car...my shop charged me $40...yeah i know, it might be somewhat of a rip, but hey, i aint got the tools and i trust my folks at my shop...they did a great job!
straightridah03: i don't know if Top Speed makes headers for the LX, you have to PM Circa-X about that...all i know so far is that they are for the EX, but I might be wrong...ask him about it man, and I'm sure he'll give u some news on it....
It kinda feels great to be the first person with a Top Speed Header/High Flow Cat on our cars....and whats even better iz that its a high quality product!
