Thanks to Josh at Import Image for extra quick shipping of my Perrin headers. I ordered them late Wednesday and had them Friday afternoon! Here are some pics I took of them after taking them out of the box:

Here's where improvement can be made with some slight porting, but for my purposes, I'm just leaving them as is since the runner diameter isn't that large to begin with:

Here's a pic of the collector...

All in all, the previous GT Spec I owned had larger diameter runners and a much cleaner collector. That's ok though, because for my purposes, a proven equal length is the way to go.

So I looked at the directions and saw this:

Then I saw this post by Jeff Perrin:
NASIOC - View Single Post - PERRIN - 2008WRX: Header and Up-pipe

If it's good enough for Jeff, it's good enough for me!

onto the coating:

finished:

I did 3 coats and the can was about empty. You can choose from different color choices, so I went with something close to CGM

The finish looks good, with some overspray here and there because I suck with an aerosol can

Now it's time to let it dry for 7 days then I'll install it and do the heat break-in through them.
