Good Heading for Aftermarket

Be prepared to apply either HVT Heat paint or thermal film if you want them to look good. Boxing voids some warranties, is said to rust where it's put, and metal degrades faster than normal wear and tear. Also, it's pretty easy to install. Use a penetrating lube on all of the bolts before attempting this job, it will save you a lot of swearing and bloody joints. Assemble the counterflange from bottom to top, it goes in there with a simple shake. Also order new gaskets, the included gaskets are cheap but will fit for now. As far as HP boost goes, it's bigger, not that big of a difference on the low end, but a lot more on the top end in WOT. It's only a 1.6 liter engine anyway, expect a modest 2-5hp increase.
