Default wwoohoo dc headers came in

yeah my dc headers came in like 2days after i ordered lol. but anyway, the only problem is they didnt come with a gasket like it said it would so i need to wait to go get one. its ceramic and looks pretty nice, but it did have some burs in side that were pretty big, but nothin a dremel grinding and poloshing kit cant handle came with 2 dc sports stickers, 1 carb exempt underhood sticker. and a free billet oil filler cap, which i wasnt expecting but it matches my pulley perfectly so sweetness. i realized puttin the carb sticker on that my strut bar is in the way, will i have to take it out?

if your car is old, prepare to use breaker bar.

yeah, it's better to take out the strut bar during install cuz the engine bay is so tight back there.

my dealership tried to con me into buying all new nuts and bolts and all the donut gasket too. but i only got the gasket that goes on the motor side of the header and i dont have an leaks so all is good. i have to say this is probably the best mod i have done to my car so far.
