I too have the KH system, and think for the $$$, its great. It comes with just a thin coating of paint, so don't be suprized when it burns off and you get some rust. Either wrap it, clean it off with some paint thinner and put high temp paint on it, or send it out for a high temp coating. Also. You have to fab your own bracket for the supertrap. And. It is recomended that you offset the clutch cable to run at more of a downward angle off the bracket/pully wheel, rather than the more parallel to the ground line it would take as normally installed. This is to keep it from the hot pipes. This will lower your ground clearance some, if your car is heavily lowered, keep this in mind. I put some hook and loop heat sleeve around the cable after lowering it, just for some extra insurance, and have had no problems. Kinda loud w/the trapp, but I like it that way. At the auto cross, have had many complements that it sounds much better than the SSI/bursch setup prior. Had some light exhaust leaks, but found loose nuts to the head studs, ? if leaks due to nuts coming loose or mfg of the header. Tightened the nuts up a little, have had no problems since.
