That sucks man, I know how excited you were lol, it doesn't make sense why they wouldn't fit the sedan. But if you have to end up getting rid of them ill buy em

IM BACK

im sorry for the delay guys.

Well im installed and i took her for a spin.

I started at 4pm and we finshed now at 915.

The only problem is that we did not do any cutting or use the secondary stuff.I know for sure we needed that but my dad and uncle said we didnt.

So when my car throws a SEL, we are gonna have to follow the rest of the stillen directions. Blah Blah Blah

As for the write up and the videos they will be coming in the AM. I got a ton of pics.

I even have a picture of the bolt we stripped out to the header and we had to mig weld a socket to the bolt to get it off.

Aight time for some new york strip steak and a 15 mile drive back to my house.

Hopefully more updates tomorrow after work.

I would say the exhaust tone isnt much louder when you are idling. When you pop the gas it seems a bit louder. When you are running it down the street it sounds louder and hollow??? i may be retarded but whatever.

Mind you i think i drove it .8 of a mile with 3 stop lights.

First impression - possible loss of torque at the very very low end. When i got higher in the rpms 4000 ish the car took off and shocked the heck outta me. It seems like a major increase.

But i really didnt drive it much. i got a long drive home so im gonna whip it.

Hahahaha you have to use the mass uploader... It will probably take you atleast 45 min to upload the pics, write the writeup, and paste the pics into a thread... Custom title on the way?? I wonder what it will be...

What did you leave out of the installation?

dldj just take a video of your car driving and revving and i'll be happy, i already went through a crappy morning lol

here is the email i got from josh at stillen:

"Nick,

You should have been contacted by us, I apologize that didn't seem to happen. Actually that's frustrating, and something I'll bring up next week with the staff.

The secondary flange is slightly different for the sedan, and will have a change. We will have the updated flange in a couple of weeks, so if you can hang on, we'll definitely get you one of the first articles, or we will happily take it back for a refund until the sedan version is completed (again, a couple of weeks).

This was our fault, all R&D was done on a coupe, and when we brought the sedan in for the final long term testing, we installed the coupe prototype, not realizing the sedan oem b-pipe was slightly different.

Let me know what you would like to do.

Josh"

so according to this, just the flange is different, damnit i don't know what to do!!! i want to install it now, but i want to wait for the flange@@

I think your good for 500mi before you get a CEL. IIRC thats when the prototype headers kept throwing the CEL before
