Just got my headers back from Steve. Good looking job and welds. Ill be taking them and crossover to Performance Coatings in Auburn Wa to get ceramic coated. Will post pictures of them coated next week. Should be 100 maybe 120.

Again

One more

do you really need to get new gaskets when you reinstall the headers and crossover?

I re used the same ones no leaks. Sounds good runs great.

I changed them, the 2 to the motor and the 1 for the xover. Also I replace the compression rings for the O2 sensor

Please pardon my ignorance, but why did you go this route?  I was under the impression you could just put a header pipe from a 09 on there instead of removing the cat.  I must be wrong?  Thanks for any explanation.

If I remember correctly the placement of the O2 bungs has changed in the '10 from where they were in '09. If you wanted to stay "stealth" (keep the OEM look) then it would (IMO) be better to do what this member has.

OK, thanks.  What is the cost difference between the two?  What is the downtime for cat removal from fullsac.  Is the company called "fullsac"?  Interesting name if it is.

I think it would be best to have the OEM header ( w/cat ) ready to reinstall when the gov. starts testing and checks that the cat is there.

Thanks for posting the pics.  Are you getting it dynoed?  What cams do you have?

Agreed, I'm asking my dealer for a "throw-away" where they have replaced pipes to tru-duals - if they are still doing that with the cats as I don't think it's even legal.  I may have to spend the money on either the Jackpot or Fullsac headers.

Fullsac pipe is shipping hopefully next week. Steve is taking orders now if you want one from the first batch. I spoke with him the other night and should have mine by New years

How will that be done?

California just shot down a bill that was introduced, for motorcycle smog checks.  It was going to be a visual inspection to ensure that the mufflers were stamped with the EPA stamp and the baffles were in them.

Unlike a four wheeled vehicle, I'm not sure how they'd be able to look at it and determine if the cat is in it.
