Really? I'm happy to hear that, 'cause I keep hearing horror stories about C3 rear ends doing terrifying things on the 1/4 mile. I'm still relatively new to the world of C3 ownership, so I'm not really sure how much grunt any of the stock moving parts behind the tranny can take. I don't plan on using slicks, but drag radials are not out of the question.

they are headman headers I painted with VHT header paint after I did minor customizing. had to ding them a little for the steering box and a little for the frame on the passenger side I have pics of the customizing if you want them. it was not hard at all
