    Yeah the SSautochromes are identical to the speed daddy's, same thing, about the same price.

    I do think that the ssac might have slightly larger primaries though

    You can do intake, headers, and plug wires for under $500, maybe even cheaper if your real thrifty

    I heard that SSAC doesnt even make them anymore, someone said they tried to order some and just got their money refunded like 2 weeks after ordering.
    Get these SS Tubular Exhaust Manifold Header Extractor Grand Prix GTP Regal Impala 3 8L V6 | eBay
    Order 2 3" stepped band clamps and 2 2 1/2" stepped band clamps. Dont use the clamps that came with them.
    Get some copper rtv silicone and put that on the crossover and dp.
    Reuse the factory exhaust manifold gaskets and order a Felpro gasket for the catback.

    Get those headers some stock replacement wires and either some autolite 605 coppers or some copper 104's depending if you run the 3.5 or 3.4.

    SSAC has a 3in Downpipe

    SD's have a 2.5in Downpipe.

    They are slightly different.

    Im pretty sure i read somewhere they have a 2.5in DP.

    I actually know for a fact cause someone posted it in my "Members Ride" thread.

    That was almost a year ago though, so things could of changed.

    No mine is 3" and I got mine in August of last year. IIRC the outlet is tapered down so it mates up with the factory catback.

    Just slap a dryflow open cone filter on the end of the tb and zip tie the iac up. Or follow Nawarkks Simple Intake guide.
