Well... I'm reduced to a 7 year old once again - eager with anticipation. I'll be frequenting the UPS site because all my new exhaust parts are on their way!!! Kooks really stepped it up with basically a 1 week turn around time. 
I also am in contact with my installer and it will either be Monday or Wednesday next week (weather permitting).

Essentially the reason is because of the dreaded Header install. From what I read/understand/and discussed with people who even DID the install themselves, they said to have it done by someone else. LOL. The array of tools (special extensions, wobbly heads, etc... which I don't have special stuff) plus the possibility of stripping or breaking a bolt head (if it happens while on the engine, essentially I'm f...'d), were all enough to scare me away.I'll entrust it to my shop buddy.

Trust me, I'm bummed about it. Everything on Marilyn I did myself, my own knuckle bleeds, etc. This is the first time a shop is doing it.

lol trust me, I know what a PITA headers can be. I did them myself on my 91 Z28, it was a nightmare that lasted 5 days. Granted I had just had back surgery about 2 months beforehand, so I had to take a lot of breaks, but yeah it's super easy to break exhaust bolts. I don't blame you guys, I'm just jelly because I'm too cheap for any of this stuff

Well, here's the 3rd run of the day, the last run I was able to record before the freakin GoPro's battery died on me.
I had a total of 10 runs during the day, I started with a 96.048-second run, 2nd was 96.043, this run was 91.739
In the afternoon on a much drier track I got it down to 85.68 seconds, good enough for 5th place in a 15-car Novice class. That 5th place got me a t-shirt that says on the back "When I race, cones fear me"

Better get that Watts link on quick so this doesn't happen, Gabe!

OUCH! That's a pretty dumb place for an autocross.
