      I work with a tuning shop located in Pittsburgh, we had one come in for a FMIC instal and tune with these headers on. Car was FBO on E60 and made 350whp compared to mine that was FBO minus header and had a TMIC that made 370whp on E50. Same Dyno same tuner. A car with a FMIC should have made 10-15whp more than my 370whp.

      No sir, that is part of the factory heat shield and will not fit. The headers come with titanium wrap for this reason

    Hey, I might get a response but did you get the wing after the fact or did you do a trunk swap? I been looking into and dont want to delete my lip on my wrx since there will be the issue of the 4 holes or maybe just order a new trunk + wing.

    • @ogsmokey187
      @ogsmokey187  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wing is an amazon aftermarket unpainted. We painted it with color matched spray cans from a good paint supply store. Total you'll need to sand it, primer it, about 3-4 cans of color, 1 can of the midcoat (the pearl) , and 3 cans of an activated clear coat. At least. As for the 4 holes we ordered I believe 5/16th metal plugs, painted those suckers too and clear silicone them in place. Good luck! And yes careful drilling was involved.

  • @echomike1charlie387
    @echomike1charlie387 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Q. Ia it possible to install the wrap on the headers when its on already? And also turbo blanket without removing turbo?.
    10 more weeks to go before i received my headers.

    • @ogsmokey187
      @ogsmokey187  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Definitely possible, but now quite a bit harder. You'll be wrapping them on your back now and it's not the easiest thing to really do. The headers include a roll of the titanium header wrap you saw in the video.

      I can't recall from the top of my head now. But there's like 2 on the passenger side you can't even reach with a torque wrench I ended up doing those by feel with an combo wrench
