Weapon*R Header and S Pipe Installed!
Thanks to NoLimitzInd of course, for notifying me immediately after it became available! :D
Overall install was pretty easy considering we were just using jack stands. I also used the CEL eliminator and sure enough no CEL after about 30 miles of driving around tonight. My only issue is the position of the o2 bung on the header, I had to detach the harness from the block to get it to reach. Other than that, fitment was perfect. Now I just need to get rid of the scuba tank :D
Sorry, no pictures of the install, it's really not hard at all, I will say that having a lift availble makes getting leverage on some of the bolts a little easier.

Yep it bolts right up at the factory location. My only other exhaust modification is the Tanabe Medallion Touring resonator(axle back). At the moment the box sounds more like an old school import pickup truck than what I think it should sound like lol. I've noticed less hesitation when I step on it so it's definitely helping the low end torque. My next day off I plan on going to a reputable muffler shop I know of in town and having them fabricate a mid pipe with a high flow cat and muffler. I know they carry flowmaster as well as a few other brands.

I'm currently running a CAI, pulley, and Tsudo dual. Is there anything worthwhile to be gained in the low through mid range adding the WeaponR 4-2-1 header with the scuba in place? Also, I understand the header doesn't meet California CARB standards, but how about the rest of the states? Can you tell me anything?
Thanks much -- Trevor

Glad to hear your low to midrange picked up some. I'm wondering what the likelihood is of the car not passing emissions inspections outside of California. That would be a royal nuisance.
Perhaps I'm not clear what "street legal" means. Certainly these items are not covered by and could cause problems relative to the vehicle warranty, but I don't see why engine/suspension/exhaust changes would be non "street legal" if they don't prevent the vehicle from passing inspections. The Delaware inspection consists of emissions and safety equipment, so that narrows it down to emissions to me (or possibly exhaust loudness.) I realize legality is normally governed by ordinances, but I was under the impression the inspections were the practical embodiment of said ordinances. Of course, if there is some law somewhere saying that the vehicle shall be stock, then that's another thing. (Come to think of it, Delaware DOES require that if the vehicle is supposed to have a cat, then it MUST be there. They check under the car with a mirror.)

FYI it is also against federal law to remove the catalytic converter, separate from state inspection, which has the infamous fine "up to" $2500.
It's never enforced, the cops don't care about the EPA
That's why many parts are "off road use", "race only", etc
