After a failed VVT engine swap I decided to keep my 1992 motor and redo the entire exhaust. I already have a pair of Edelbrock SDT mufflers with 2.25" in/out and a pre-bent 2.25" piping kit. The only part I needed was a set of Rush extractors which came in the mail a couple of days ago. The car has a high stall torque convertor and about 250-300lb of weight reduction. I yanked the interior, air conditioning, hydro fan, trunk interior and installed light weigth seats. The car is suppsoed to be a daily driver with an occasional romp at my local track. I dont plan to run cats or even try to cut down on the dB level. I want it to be loud and in your face as Colorado has no smog laws whatsoever. Anyway here are a couple pics of the Rush headers that arrived. They are MASSIVE, with stainless construction, equal length primaries, quality merge collectors, and quality welds. Once bolted up, the collectors sit a couple inches short of the transmission tail shaft, they are that long! I have no complaints about these headers so far. I cannot wait to hear them sing!
My only dilemma is to decide on a balance pipe... H-pipe or X-pipe? Noise is not a concern but performance is.
