right on sawson but theres got to be a better way i already have the motor out of the car.

Well it depends on how much power you plan on making. BBK's are fine but if your going to try to break 500rwhp i would get the hookers

I called Jet-Hot today about getting Headers from them. They Quoted me $800 to the door for the coated Hooker LTs and Xpipe and they will let you make two payments.

For real!!!! What about that group purchase that was going down a while ago??

so who was checking into that group purchase was he one of the guys that got banned off of the site? [Confused]

Someone needs to check into that, anyone want to get together to group purchase some MAC prochambers?

I am also looking forward to that Group Purchase. I would definitely sign up for that, especially if we are looking at the Hooker headers. The Corral had a GP a while back on Hooker and got both Headers & X-pipe for under $600. [Eek!]
I would like to look into it but I am too busy between work and school.

Here's a GP somewhat in the making (I hope) going on at the Corral.

No prices are announced yet, he's supposedly working on it. I've also called Jet-Hot and got the same price as Mark....$800 for the set (4.6 2V).

SHM headers are expensive....I've never really seen these on a car...I heard these headers are great for high HP cars....I know the quality of my BBK headers sucks!...I would go with anything else other than BBK...If your heads are ported the cyl.head ports will not match the BBK header ports very well at all....If you do go with BBK I recommend going with different header bolts...I know too many people that have broken the BBK header bolts in the head! [Mad]

Ya im gonna go with the $800. I want to get them on before Palmdale. I'll ask them when I call if they can cut a better deal for us. I'll try calling them before I leave for the track.

Thanks for checking.

I'll probably just go w/ the headers only...I want a change in sound and want to quiet down the noise some. Probably going w/ a BBK catted H.
