Fittings for O2 sensors are on sides of collectors. Give me a side view of them they look great with good ground clearance

Those headers look bad azz.
From what i can see headers bottom are still higher than the oil pan.
Gordon, are u hiding your coil packs on the lower firewall? U may want another small tin heat shield in front of those - and it looks like u have room for it. BTW how do the headers look from the top?

Looks great. I hope they have duplicated that exact setup for me (including extension pipe) and have them in a box ready to ship.

Yes Nick said he has updated the jig for this setup.
I have not decided on the coil packs. I will probably leave them there but with another shield or something to protect from the heat.
Here is another picture I got later on the headers.

Looks good. I've got the same coil location but mine are spread out a bit more and more towards the outside. I might put the original shield back on top to cover them. TBD.

At that rpm, the speed limit was a blurry sign a few miles back!

Those pipes better be clean. There has not been anything through them yet.
I don't plan on babying it ever.

Ok. Latest update. I sent Nick an email on my car. I have been a little disappointed at the time line of my car but Nick assured me they are working hard on it. Unfortunately they have had some growing pains and some bad steel that we won't go into here. He assured me it will be done early next week. For me that does not help as I am away on business most of the week. I am trying to rearrange my schedule so I can pick the car up on Thursday but it will be a lot of driving and in the middle of NYC rush hour. I hate driving this even without a car and trailer. But it's got to be done. I will take some photos and update you all when I get it back.
