Default Something Good

Finally something good.

I went to the local Napa I have became friends with the owner, He had a 1985 C4 that had a fuel fire Bad for him good for me he gave me a set of Melrose full headers.

The Napa owner now has a C5 ZO6 he got it for a great deal.

I just now need to find a front Y pipe and a New 3 way cat and the Air injection hook ups for them.

Now I guess I have to find a Smog shop that will let the full tube headers pass.

Yes they do have the air injection tubes I have to get them to hook up to the air pump now.

I put the car up on Jack stands this week end and start play with them.

My neighbor has a set of Hooker Headers on his C4 I have take a look at what I need to do to get every thing to work together.

I also need to find out do I need to get the chip redone if so I just might change the cam out t a bigger roller cam.

Why don't you go smog your car before you put them on?
