Default Big thanks to LMR!

I'd like to thank Josh, Steven, and the crew for taking care of me on my exhaust that needed to have an o2 bung put on. Seems very simple I know, but I needed the weld to be PERFECT because the exhaust itself is a work of art.


So you can tell that I want to keep up on the cleanliness of it. When I get home I'll take a shot of the weld vs the one that's already there. They are almost identical.

To match the exhaust my new headers are going on too at the same time.


Having some fitment issues due to 44mm wastegates, but I'll get that taken care of though this weekend.

Freakin' cannot go wrong with Steven and the boys! If my car needs it and they do it, they get it. Hard to find the combination of skill, service, and trust at LMR.

Nice damned exhaust, it really is art, Powell.

Each of your headers are missing a pipe. I only see a total of 6, must be slow.

Yeah LMR did a jam up job on our HKE 445 stroker install. Between the shuttling parts to tuning to having it turn key ready to hit the track the same evening we picked it up, we couldn't be more pleased. How's that for a run on sentence.lol.

LMR= A great group of talented "Motor Heads".

Thanks guys!

Damn James!! I still remember when you were running I think it was high 10s, but GD!! The car is FLYING now!

Also for those wondering the headers in the first picture are not what I have. I got the ones in the 2nd picture, with Tial 44mm Wastegates.

Andrew, the pissed off lawn mower needs to mow its own lawn first LOL!
