Met up with Forum member "connecticut" yesterday at his garage.They - Stephen (connecticut) and Jim (his uncle) - have an awesome setup - 2 post lift, air tools, welding equipment, paint equipment, sand blasting - everything!

When I got there, they were installing a Dynatech SuperMaxx headers on a 2000 coupe. The work they do is exemplery - very professional, gloves all the way, wiping down the headers with alcohol, double and triple checking everything before buttoning it all down.

When done, back up on the lift to check for leaks and then a very short test drive to check for any missing, bogging etc. I hightly recommend them for any mod work.

Me? I went up there because I could not get my frame savers on my now way too low car They helped me with that in just a few minutes.

Good guys and good to see folks that really care about their work.

Grond and Y2K coupe on lift


Stock, x-pipe modified stock and Dynatech system. Headers, cats, x-pipe, hardware (headers already installed on car)


Pix of headers - very nice fit. I'm VERY impressed with the SuperMaxx system - all hardware came shrink wrapped compared to the Kooks system which had bits missing and all just thrown together in a box.


Very clean work - pix do not do it justice


Stephen ("connecticut" in background) and Jim (in car) taking it for a maiden run


How low can you go??? Grond next to stock ride height Y2K coupe
