The passenger's side header looks great, no globby tig welds, individual component fitment looks great - transistion from mounting pad to primaries is smooth and appears to fit well.
Driver's side header is another story, lots of welding splatter inside the primaries, lots of over-weld around the transition from the mounting surface to the primaries. The air fitting is welded in what appears to be the proper location but wasn't drilled thru the primary. The HVMC has two big dents in it near the primary merge point, this has caused the aft/larger end of the HVMC to be severly egg shaped.
Put them side by side and they look like they were made by two different places. I sent pictures of the dents and the egged HVMC and was told everything appears normal.
I just hope they fit up right when I go to install them.

what did the tune cost?
how is ur ground clearance
Thanks for all the responses so far. I'm going to submit the dyno tests to LS1Sounds. Look for the Silver Firehawk under SLP Dual/Dual.
Weezer, I would definitely go back to QTP and question them on the issues with your drivers side header. It sounds like the header wasn't finished properly.
Start an account with Photobucket.com. You can make neat little albums and upload pics/video. They allow up to 100mb vids!
I can't wait to put my dual/dual on, but it's been raining for 3 days straight!

does your y pipe bang the underside of your car at all?
Said it is almost stock like idle but louder at WOT?
The sound is very quiet at idle, and I get no rasp or resonance of any kind at any RPM. It sound mean as hell at WOT though. Everyone knows you are not stock when you hit the gas

I would say there is around an eighth of an inch clearance in some sections, especially where they Y merges into the flowmaster collector. It is definitely worth while to spend time adjusting the Y. It does fit quite well once its buttoned up properly.
