Thanks Salsa. Any pics of yours?
Well I just put headers on this car and I will tell ya what a PAIN IN THE A_ _!!! I hate mechanic work, figured it would only take me a couple hours and took me about 3-4 days (on and off here and there) I will never do that again lol. I will have some updated pics soon. As seen in the photos the wheels are red, i dont like them so i will prob paint them black where the red is. Until i can get some better wheels for it.

what took so long? You didn't get ones with AIR connectors did you?

did you get shorty headers? Sure, the y-pipe is tight to the oil pan but I heat wrapped the y pipe where it touched the pan.

I've found that the shorties are the best way to go. I put up some pictures of my 89.

Thanks guys.
Yea I got the shorty headers. It wasnt to bad putting the pipes on but I think I need to use the metal gaskets they have cause the other ones I bought dont seem to work that good and leak even when I tighten it up somtimes.
The good thing is it is true dual, into glasspacks that stop just under the pass. seat. Next year will have it done out to the back.
