These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

they're in! fabspeed headers and GHL loud mufflers. engine feels even stronger now. might be a placebo effect but will confirm with a dyno test. had PSE and was looking for something a tad louder and thought the GHL loud was the ticket. well, other than the nice purr from the GHL, it is actually quieter in the cabin. a little disappointing. GHL has a 30 return policy right ? had to split the job in two days, had errands to do with the wife. hardest part of the whole job was getting the header to mate up with the cat flange. had to pound it on with a mallet. looks like this is it for the engine mods. just waiting for the CARB certification on the EVO supercharger now more pics

POST 3Original post

Oh, btw mufflers take a while to break in they will get louder after about 200-500 miles.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i used gaskets between the header and cats but not between the header and head. fabspeed states there's no need of gaskets but i bought some just in case. stock header gaskets actually have a smaller opening than the fabspeed headers so i chose not to use them.

POST 5Original post

cool good to know that you used new gaskets on the collectors. How much out of curiosity? thanks btw.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ya, they usually get mellower after carbon build up but i want louder. i'll give it a week or so.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

999 @ departstop.com. best price i found, 500 of fabspeed retail!

POST 8Original post

Carlos: Why did you choose this combination of fabspeed headers and ghl exhaust as opposed to fabspeed all or ghl all? Do you still have your PSE? Do you want to sell it? Thanks

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i didn't like the rumbling/burping sound of the fabspeed. i love the PSE bark so i wanted to get something closer to it AND a little louder and lighter.
