What the shop you got the bum scoop from experienced, is with a motor that had positive crankcase ventilation. Its usually seen on boosted motors or on NA engines with bad PCV valve. This is so rare I cant believe they even mentioned it. It was a problem years ago with a cheap header company. The inside of the welds had slag that was ingested by the cylinder and ended up causing piston/ring damage, this is extremely rare. Once again THERE IS NO RELATION BETWEEN HEADERS AND OIL CONSUMPTION.

I'm really considering getting custom long tube headers fabricated locally, stillen seems to be my only option and for some reason I'm not so tempted.. I contacted Tony@FI and he said they're not working on those for now..hmmm

Sam you really need to go to a hearing doctor and make sure your ears are functioning correctly and your hearing is above that of a deaf man. Are you mad?!

Man it's just insane how aggressive the G sounds now and I'm just curious to know how much more aggressive it could get! Yes it is loud already and my ears do feel like I came out of a club after a long drive lol but I'm just curious.. I'll probably custom fit a few resonators here and there down the road when it gets too loud

I have the carbon FI with berk hfcs. Lately I have been thinking about selling one of the two, just because its that loud at 1800 rpm. God bless and kudos to you for being able to withstand the madness Fast Intentions induces.

65mph highway cruising is one of the few times in life suicide seems like a good idea.
