thanks for the link man!

 

no problem..i actually just joined that site today. that thing is PACKED compared to here lol crazy

 

Hey Sam,

I just got my headers, gen 2 intakes, exhaust, and HFC's (all Stillen) delivered today. Thanks to Juan for giving me a deal on his lightly used goods as he's workin on a TT. Lucky B@stard!

They're supposed to be installed by the dealer on Monday-Tuesday next week, (and they're givin me a loaner for 2 days woot!) so I'll keep ya posted. I don't have access to a dyno, but I'll be happy to post some vids so you can at least hear 'em.

I was shocked the dealer agreed to install HFC's and Headers for me, but they did, and their labor rates are only $110/hour, which is actually cheaper than alot of custom shops around here ($120-135/hr). That, combined with warranty concerns, a free loaner is so convenient for me, it's a win/win.

To be continued, wish me luck guys PS - the Vossens have been ordered too!

 

where you getting it done? which dealership? so what was the grand total for the install of everything?

 

^Bro you are about to pay close to a 1k for the install if they rate per hr.

 

Yup, $1100 to be exact. Quote from other local shops were $1300+. Ouch, but it's Fairfield county pricing. That's why we're moving next year.

 

Greenwich CT

 

Damn they were gonna do headers and test pipes on my G for $250, must be nice to know people

 

Yeah I'm pretty much sold on the headers to be honest, I found someone local who can reflash my stock ECU which even tempted me more to the get headers on... A friend of mine stepped up and called guinea pig.. Waiting on him to report any issues lol naah there shouldn't be hopefully..

Now one more question.. is hot coating better than heat wrapping?

 

^^Solisimo that's why I posted. Im getting mine done for $190. Sam I asked the same question to turbo shop in MIA and they recommended Ceramic coat or Jet hot which I believed is a high quality ceramic coat over Wraps just because it will cover much more and sometimes wraps are difficult just because of the curvature of the pipes.

 

Who is doing your install man

 

Speedshop. If not Im getting a setup with Japtrix to get dynoed before and after installed. Also AP setup since they are Authorized Cobb pro tuners (Not G37).

 

So can a paint shop do the jet coating for me here? If they can powdercoat wheels they should be able to coat headers right? or am I missing something here?

 

If they do Ceramic coating then yep is all good.
