It lined up...kinda. One stud was kinda off, but I wiggled it back and forth a little and got it on.

Factory might be twice as heavy depending on the accuracy of the scale, but three times as heavy is pushing it.
For me, it's all about how I feel when I think about what parts are on my car. If I was going through the list of parts on my car and read Megan, Megan, Megan, OBX, TC Sportline, Megan, OBX, I'd think to myself, man... is my car a piece of shit or what?

I'm pretty sure Russ didn't mean it *literally*. Figure of speech.
And the oe exhaust manifold was HEAVY as shit. I feel like Ive been lifting weights after trying to get this thing on. Pics of the welds:
I didn't finish installing it due to the EGR tube. Tomorrow I'll have to take the header off again, slightly, and attach the EGR tube then re-install the header to the head.
