Got mine on Monday. ;-)

Now I'm just waiting for someone to do a write up on the install and the weather to warm up around here!

+1 PICS! Step-by-step for those of us who are seriously challenged. That's mechanically retarded for the Mary lovers.

Just wondering what the advantages are.

According to their site, my OEM covers are supposed to warp. Well they're as flat as can be. The only reason I had a leak is because the seals were hard and dried out.

Then I would be concerned about having a good ground path next to my spark plug leads, which dry out and crack next to the lower valve covers where the mufflers are.

The OEM units can't oxidize and after 15 years still look like they just came out of a package.
