header question



Joe..

I've installed SD/SSAC's on so many cars in our area. You shouldn't have issues unless the car sits. Any car that sits will start rusting etc. Also if you follow the install advice I posted in the how to section ...you'll find your install is done in record time. Especially if those guys doing it on a lift.

Rear manifold...it's cake to get to. need the right tools.
 
i have the right tools thankfully im a mechanic and work on these all day long. but i trust you guys here so i think im going to wait for the SD to come in. WE do a lot of work with AXP exhaust so if it doesnt fit right up they can help me out

I only said what I did...because you said it was a pain to get at the rear manifold. C'mon... you don't mean that if you are a mechanic. That's like saying it's tough to do a front valve cover on a 92-99 Bonneville. (5 minutes or less from start to finish)
 
My speed daddy's have been gold, no leaks & I had the entire lower portion welded up. I didn't even have to bang out the firewall for the O2. I could argue that while the setups for ZZP & WBS are very impressive, they are worth 25-40% of most GP's right now. I think a set of new ZZP's is equivalent to 30-35% of the cost of a turbo kit fully installed??
 
^ This. If I bought a 05-06 GTO that still pulls in $15-20k I wouldn't bat an eye at $700~ for headers. But for a car worth less than $5k, that's alot. And unless you're going for a show car, function/price > looks/namebrand
 


well i am keeping the car for a long time regardless of what its worth. this spring the car is getting a painting and some body work.
