I got the Cobb lastnight, still haven't installed it yet though.. I put the SPC rear camber kit on the night before, but i haven't got it aligned. As soon as its aligned then I will install the cobb...
NeverBoneStock, do you think its worth getting the headers then before I spend the 189 with cobb to etune the car?

headers are definitely my next mod. Question though, how much louder did the sound get.. I'm still having a hard time getting used to the loudness of test pipes on the way to work in the morning lol

In all honesty since you have test pipes there will be no difference in sound .. There is no restrictions in your set up .. How does it feel ??? Any funny smells ??

When you get that beast tuned you are going to make some really nice power ... It also makes a huge difference in how the car runs ..

On my car HFC and my exhaust made my car louder .. I didnt notice a difference with my headers . When I added my intakes it did get just a little bit louder but nothing to complain about ...

Welcome aboard... lol, I think i made the right decision to get the cobb first, just because I can now load the tune to the car, then get the headers (either now or later.) After putting the headers on then get it e-tuned..
