Headers question
I have a 2000 FRC. If I buy a set of headers for 01-04, how hard would it be to get the AIR tubes extended to meet the different connection points on the headers ?
Or could I simply not hook them up ?

I just went through this... I cut the hard line just behind the valve cover and put in a piece of rubber tubing;
I had initially tried bending it in to submission, then decided to lengthen it so it may look a little funny to you.
You can certainly remove the entire AIR system and tune it out also.

Take it out. I can now remove all eight spark plugs in under five minutes. I have a set of LG Pros at an exhaust shop right now getting the AIR connection removed. My current QTP headers were done last year.

That would mean removing the AIR pump as well.... would I need a new belt to boot ??

What I did was bend mine. It was really hard though.
You could add the 01+ air tubes (requires intake removal) or just delete the system.

If you haven't ordered headers yet, have them made without the connection. My AIR pump is still in the car, I just removed the hoses and left the one from the pump to the driver's side in place.
