p.s. with how rich our cars run I'd be worried about dumping raw gasoline out of the hot header without anything to soak it up first.

Uh, well, guess you wouldn't need one of those flaming exhausts then, would you?

It will not void your warrinty! I just took my car in to have the clutch repalced under warriny and I've lowered it,CAI, and all. If you have the 5spd I suggest you try to look at the tread about clucth repalced under warrity!

If you put a CAI on and it got water in the motor than no its not covered. If you lower it and the springs mess up no not covered. Same with the header.
If you put a header on and the timing belt or you through a rod they will cover it. None of these mods will cause anything to break. All you have to do is confront them if they try to say no.

there's a reason why speedworld cars have a pipe and don't dump right after the header:

oh yeah, and that shiznits with no resonator, no cats, and no muffler is UBER LOUD. at WOT, it's almost deafening.

I took the exhaust off right after the first cat and it sounds very good. at low rpms it sound similar to a 13b and overall it sounds like a sti running off the downpipe and i dont think that it is to loud at all
