Hi team, I ordered the parts from Suncoast the other day and have installed them. With my setup (Cargraphic race headers), it was a straight forward install once I figured out how to get my big hands in there. With the stock header/cat-I am sure it will be considerably tighter to get in (probably why they are not on from the factory as you will need to remove them when servicing the coil packs/plugs).....

Good to know for others-either way it wasn't too expensive overall from Suncoast. In regards to only having to remove the top piece-you are correct. What I was saying is that I dont know if you will be able to get to it with the stock headers on or not (not sure as I dont have the stock ones installed).

For anyone who has had their headers coated with Swain White Lightning, have you had any chipping of the coating? I was cleaning my wheels today and noticed that it looks like the coating is coming off in some areas. Wondering if it's just excess coating coming off and if the coating is still functional even though it is thinner in those areas. You can also see some pilling of the coating which I've read is normal.

I got multiple CELs on the Fabspeed. Better torque with the Cargraphic and no CELs so far. Cargraphic seems like much better quality.

Those dingleberries can be easily scraped off with an old credit card or similar without hurting the surface. Swain is upfront by describing the White Lightning ceramic coating as not pretty and you shouldn't select it if you are after good looks. It is only designed to insulate, not look good. Too bad we can't get both qualities in a ceramic coating. The guy at Swain told me that on parts that get hot enough to glow red, their product *might* not be able to stay bonded, but otherwise is so tough you have to grind or file it to get it off.
Is that a picture of a catalyst equipped header?
As already mentioned, the nodules are normal and can be scraped off.
