The looks incredible.
I want to exhaust wrap but people are saying 50/50 good and bad.

Yer although i think heat coatings are where it should be at.

I wouldn't wrap a standard manifold. But a good quality aftermarket one should be fine.

It fired up with the first turn of the key

I was supprised as I have done a fair bit of wiring changes as well as removing the alarm/immobiliser. It is idling a bit lumpy but the timing is probably out, the accelerator cable needs adjusted, but it has fruity cams and no FITV so a lumpy idle is expected.

Bliping the throttle a few times felt awesome, it sounds good and the feel of the engine through the car felt tight. It's a shame I am off to India for two weeks as I am gagging to get it on the road.
