Yeah, I did a search for the headers and the Clear Image stuff looked pretty good but wow was the RKSport stuff crap. It honestly looked like a child designed it... 2 bolt flat flanges, WTF were they thinking or weren't they?
The long tubes are the way to go for max mid and high rpm power. Sure you'll loose like 5 ft-lbs below 3000rpm but WTF are you doing racing down there anyway . I say 1 3/4" 26" longtubes, the longer the tube the better the mid range. I don't have access so my awesome simulation software or I could pick out a primary length that was perfect.... SO my best guess is 26", but I could easily change my mind since it isn't MY car....
As for new years day, we'll have to see how bad my hang-over is. I might be staying in the city overnite, just haven't made definatly plans yet. 3 party's and I can only choose 2 .
