Yeah, I hate the heat soak on my PP Intake! I drove it 55 miles to the dyno the car sat for 15 minutes had three back to back dyno pulls and only lost 3 HP at full operating temperature. That damn heat soak!!

I also hate how it fit perfectly for me during install and had no problems with it at all!

Just as many nutswingers that are sore that someone else got parts just as good as theirs for a fraction of the price also.

I would like to have a dollar for every thread about poor fitting kooks or leaky as qtp collectors.

Really??? My kooks fit like a dream. If they hadn't have, I would have sent those bastards back and got my $900 back.

Like most things in life, you get what you pay for!

I'm pretty sure the Headers he got were the cheap knockoff ones that aren't even the right type of steel :'(

The ebay headers I bought worked perfectly. Here are some installation pics from today:

They are NOT the ones that come with those tiny cats... they don't come with a y-pipe either...
