3) Any sound clips?
1)65k
2) I own a few sets of tools and did it at the shop on base so I had full access to any tool I could need. Most bolts are a 14mm, there are a couple 12mm, 10mm and 2 8mm. o2 sensors are 7/8. You can do it with a good socket/ratchet set. Ratchet wrenches help but are not necessary. A 3/8 breaker bar will come in handy as well. Other than that you should be good.

3) no sounds clips, I will try to get some this weekend.

I was just curious because most people dont have a complete set. I got everything i would ever need and tons more (but thats because i do aircraft maintenance) Thanks for the reply, looking forward to your sound clip!

when do you plan to install these? Do you have a baseline dyno to compare for gains or losses (hopefully not)

Looking forward to seeing how this works out. Might be interested. I'm guessing you'll need a tune after this, well asking more then guessing lol.

If they perform this would be so huge for Megan. You cant beat that price, i saw them for $325 shipped! on hopupracing dot com even after you get them coated they'll still be half the price of the competition. Race headers combined with a tune will usually net huge gains however you really should do a baseline though to check the power band. Many headers have a negative effect on low end power. A baseline, header, header+tune dyno would be the best. I would ask Megan to sponsor the dynos since you're the first I know of to pioneer their headers in this market + if they perform they'll have many new customers.
