With the guard rolling, was there any paint cracking (even fine lines)?

No paint cracked. He heated them while rolling. When you rub your hand under the guard they are factory smooth. :)

image.jpgWell I just installed my VCM intake and love it. The noise is awesome. I bought it second hand and it didn't have the radiator support brackets or the longer breather pipe. Knowing this when I purchased it I contacted VCM for the parts and they sent them to me absolutely free of charge. I could not believe it and I received them on my doorstep 2 days later.
I cannot say enough about these guys. The service is fantastic and certainly will be looking at more upgrades from them in the future. If your looking for service these are the guys. Well done and thanks VCM :)

What are Stepped Headers? Every VE comes standard with Headers, I think you mean extractors.

Let us know how she goes after you get it all done. Thats the next thing for me. I've been looking at the hurricane headers and 2.5 inch system then tune. The thing bloody flies now so can't wait to see how it goes after the mods lol

Headers is just another term for extractors. Kinda like old school name vs new name.

Stepped extractors/headers just change slightly (honestly don't know the actual design), but the "stepped" part is in the tune. How it peeks twice. Unlike standard headers which climb in more of a single movement.

This is what I understood anyway..

Two weeks ago I had a guy run I to the back of me :-( damage wasn't too bad, just the bumper and the left rear muffler. Insurance fixed it up and they gave me a 3 inch hurricane system.. It sounds awesome. Didn't cost me a cent either so all smiles when I got her back today :))
