Maxim Works header installed
Took about 4 hours to install (1 hour lag time sue to a lunch break and a frozen stud, which I ended up having to cut off). Fit and finish is awesome. Toughest part of the install was getting the factory up-pipe out and slipping the up-pipe part of the header past the block. I used a jack to push the motor up ever so slightly to make room for the up-pipe flange to squeeze through.
First impressions: The boxer gargle/burble/rumble we've all come to love is now gone.
I suppose I can learn to live without it, eventually. Low end power has noticably increased. Can't comment on high end power just yet because I haven't gotten any engine management, and I don't feel like joining the list of people with blown STi motors.
