    Hey everybody. Just thought I would post this up. I just put on my Gruppe-S header yesterday. The header was pretty cheap price wise, but the welds looked very good and the fit was perfect. I love the sound of it. It really opened it up and made it a fair bit louder when you get on it hard (which is scary considering I'm running a catless Invidia downpipe and an Invidia N1 Race catback lol) Next time I get it up on the rack, I'll try and take some pics of the entire set up.

    yeah I did that once in my old bugeye. This will be a removable piece that will go through a high flow cat or small resonance chamber of some sort first

    I'm over the whole loud bit now, I just prefer a quality exhaust piece with good welds, proper metal and a nice non-ricer muffler (hint: Cobb).

    yeah i'll actually have two setups. the second will be 3" all the way back to the STi axle back i have. that will be my quiet, probably daily driven piece.

    what qualifies as a ricer can... is it the size because my prodrive is bigger than 75% of the honda's mufflers i have ever seen
