Do we have to fix these flex couplers or did they finally fix them in this version?

Mine just came! If I can't retune before I hit the drag strip with them on am I going to hurt anything? I have a 91 tune for CAI/catback at the moment.

Don't know about the flex pipe but I vaguely remember reading somewhere that it's fixed.

Well it's double-walled unlike the previous ones I noticed so hopefully that means its good to go.

I would assume that since they fixed the flex pipe in the past, DT has not decided to backwards. But you know what assuming does...

Half done the install. Got the front header and cross pipe out easy with the airbox removed and a very long extension for the back bolts.

After a solid 2 days of work my headers (and new plugs) are in. Good results on the SOTP dyno!

Pulled the tranny dip stick out. Lost a quart of tranny fluid but the rear header went in so much easier. No wrestling around.
