I'm considering buying one of these in a few weeks, and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this header.

Would you recommend it? What kind of gains/improvements did you notice? How does this affect gas mileage? Would I have any problems passing inspection? As far as protection, would you recommend wrapping or painting with high temp paint (I'd like to make it black to match the rest of my engine bay, if possible)? Input and pics would be appreciated.

i personally wouldnt recommend it...

pros: it is nice for show
it does feel nice at high rpms

cons: overheats your engine bay
throws a code unless you do the anti-fouler trick
makes your car sound farty in the beggining
wont pass smog
fitment isnt always direct bolt on for the mid pipe
