Talking Damn Project Creep

Keeps eating up my money, but it looks like the following item may soon be mine.

It should be a nice improvement over the factory headers due to the removal of about 3 feet of stock header tubing.

Looks nice. Do you have any pics of the stock manifolds so we can bench-dyno hp gains?

It set me back $700.

I should be able to make a good chunk of it back by selling my old factory plumbing on e-bay.

I have also decided to go EFI and upgrade to a giant intercooler.

Below is the factory system for comparison. It will be a lot lighter, but I will loose my heater boxes. My plan is to build some ducts that will grab some of the cooling air from the heads to keep me warm in the winter instead.

Looks good, I can't think of one single thing that I have ever done to a car that cost exactly what I originally thought it would

I was going to wait till the car was on the road again till I changed out the exhaust or induction but 'I should do it all while the engine is out' has led me to do everything at once.

Just wait till you see the size of the intercooler that can fit under the tail.
