    I'm getting so confused as to what everyone is running, we(I) need to make a list of who's running what and what they had to do to make it fit.

      I was going to run header wrap but my buddy told me about his buddy that does the coating, i may do it on top of the coating though. I like header wrap and I have had good luck with it in the past.

      My other buddy is doing my exhaust currently... Hopefully it will be done this week.

                      That just for the 4-pc raceland's, or is that for any raceland's??

                        Haven't seen anyone use any other ones. Surebimmer is running the 4 piece ones, and had to do what I mentioned. The extra work is definitely not worth the very minimal power difference.

                            Here are some more pictures of the spacer for the sway bar. These were need for the long tube raceland headers for the swaybar to fit.

                              I have no personal experience with this, but the consensus on bf.c was that header wrap would be bad for two reasons: speeding up corrsosion and trapping heat inside the header (versus coating in/out to also keep heat out of the material.) People were worried that due to the quality and how thin the Ebay headers were, they would be more prone to cracking.


                              Best bet is to find someone who's done it without having failure.
