I dont. I had them installed almost a year ago and i have broken 1 or maybe even two phones in that time so i dont have a pic of them anymore. I can try and get one for you tomorrow but pretty much i bought stock oem headers on ebay for like $250 and then just had a muffler shop cut the cats off and re weld piping to match oem fitment and they bolt right up for $200.

These are my headers. If u have no cats paired to a 3 inch exhuast with hi flow mufflers or resonators or whatever u decide it greatly benifits over the stock 2.25 inch shit pipe

are the pipes what gets you flames though? i never really understood if pipe makes a difference then gutting my friend did my secondary cat delete he didnt have pipe so he decided to gut it instead. i do get allot of burbles now but no POPS just little burbles. is it because i gutted my cat instead of using 3" pipe. also why did you buy a set of oem headers? Didnt wanna take off ur headers and do it?

my current setup is

afe stage 2 CAI
AA tune
BMW PE 4k miles on exhaust
secondary cats gutted for the last 1.4k miles

3 inch will give you better flow but the cats in the headers are what gives u the most benefit when removed. Secondaries will do some but no where close to the ones in the headers. And when u get a tune light turns off. And reason i bought these instead of using the ones i had is so i can go back to stock for smog if my guy cant pass me with these lol. I live in california

Just downshift 4-3 gear 3500-4350 3-2 gear 3100-4500 or do a 1-2 gear pull and the second your car shifts to 3rd just let off the gas 100% and it will spit a fat gunshot. I also run royal purple octane booster in every tank. I think it makes the car run a lot smoother overall and ive noticed about 2-3 mpg better since i started using it
