Grumpy,
Nice car. On the Stage 2 headers , are you going with single or twins? Who is making them for you and roughly how much?

Thanks,
Marty

Grumpy,
When you get your headers done can you post some pictures. Are they similar in design to the ATR's at the turbo ? Also wondering any particular reason you chose to use stage 2 heads?

Marty

Dan,
Interesting headers, so where are they going to merge together and what of the turbo flange?
