the only prb. i ran in to is.the bolt hole for the header bolts are real close to the tubes and require a small head bolt. i prefer the percy's lock bolts.and the v-band clamps didnt seal up perfect and i just made a gasket to take up some of the room.sealed right up.its good stainless steal and works good. ive not had any problems other than that.

I want to get one bad, but I don't know if I can install it myself. It seems like it would be tough.
