Will these fit over the stock heat shields I read that the passenger side can and that the drivers side was questionable. When you install these can you very also if the heat shields will fit?
Cant wait to hear the results of the install. Will you be doing some dyno runs?

I think John Brady will handle the ordering details and communication with the fabricator when this set has verified fitment. I spoke with my shop guy and he gave me a book rate of 15hrs 
, but they won't have time for me until early next week. I'll keep everyone informed as much as I can.

Did some dyno runs yesterday for a baseline, I hoping for some improvement after the installation

SRT intake w/ Race ECU - Kaj CAI box
Supra 3.76 gears w/ LSD
TM plugs
18" wheels - 275/30/18 rears
The gearing is throwing off the numbers as well as making the dyno runs a PITA, I think I also have an exhaust leak or clogged cat ( no codes) . Hopping to get that resolved at the same time as the header install. But it will do as a baseline for gains of the headers.

At one time I was really interested in these but without GOOD comparison numbers showing some sort of gain, having to at a minimum move the engine partly out of the way for install, and did I read 15 hours to install...
This may be the worst "bang for your buck" mod for our cars yet... yet I hope the gains prove me wrong...
