Forgot to add... back in 2007 we were really pissed to see/find that the header bolts were not stainless and just rust... POS! Even the turbo cars have stainless bolts. So now whenever we can we change them out. They're not expensive from the dealer and well worth it. You never know if you have to change them someday and then all rusted they break-off in the head ugh!

I need to get some stainless bolts for the headers.
If I get any skinnier I will have to run around in the shower just to get wet

Started to see that in my mind; please don't be so graphic.

my dream would be to have the Akra headers and side muffler+ sharky: valves still on so you can either go "quiet" or "louder". for now i only have the sharky and not interested in putting a center muffler back
i dont think they sell those parts seperately. have you any feedback to share about emisssion increase/decresae with the Akra cells? here if you get caught on street with smog control the fine is "ok" but you have like 15-30 days to get everything legal...
big up for the writting

I can't test smog here in California since smog station send everything to DMV even if I am not for smog certification. I did not want to chance not pass smog and having to put stock exhaust back just to get it pass again. Good news is that there are no annoying exhaust fume with Akrapovic 100 cell cats. You can't tell if it's stock or Akrapovic by smell along ... but sound is a different story

No Problem. It is epoxy and professionally installed. They sprinkle some paint like flakes on top before it dries to help make it none slip
