Default Headers are ON!

I finally got a chance to "wrench" on my car, something I've wanted to do for a long time. With the help of one of my vette "big brothers" I put headers and an x-pipe on my car. It took the two of us almost all day Sunday and I had a great time doing the install.

They sound great!!

Here's what I put on the car:


Here I am aligning the headers to the engine:


Finished!


Now I just gotta figure out what I want to do next.

Get it tuned. Are those American Racing headers? Good job on the install. Put a set on mine the end of January, great mod.

Time to get a self-contained blower!

They look very similar to the ARH headers I installed a few months back.
