Might as well install something worth while.

 

*bling* nice.

 

Those look used. Damn, they've been out for a short time and they already burnt off the shiny coating? Lucky bastard, unlucky about the car though.

 

Thats awesome Mike! Welcome to the headers club
But yeah whats with those two pipes? They don't look like they were coated.

 

Might as well install something worth while.

 

Nice man! Installing that rear header should be a walk in the park in your case.

 

ooh, wait, I meant

 

Is your car still driveable? What all changes are you making when you pull the engine? Are you replacing your engine, or rebuilding it?

 

Glad to see you purchased headers but whats up with the y pipe and flex section?
BTW did you end up buying that motor from the automatic?

Bring on the 100 traps now

 

That's how the 2nd batch is sold now....

 

Awesome! You should be pretty happy with the power gains..

 

i thought you were going to swap a engine or something. i was hoping for a pic of a vq35. but still, headers are cool but pricey.

 

Who cares about the chrome look. As long as it makes you faster!
Let me know who the tech is who does your build. I might just need him this winter.

 

If anything was to "burn off" first, it would be the hottest part of the exhaust, which is the headers.

 

WOW! very nice and good luck

Since you have the motor out this would be a good time to install new stuff like, cams, water pump, front+rear oil seals, clutch, drive axle oil seals, plugs, fuel filter.

 

 

Nice Mike!

 

Yhea, the car is still kind of driveable. I am just using it to get back and forth to work, which is less than a mile. The idle is really bad and the ticking of the valves is terrible.

I am replacing the motor with one from a 97 max. 74K miles, which is less miles than the car had when I bought it.

No changes to the motor, just gonna do the headers while the it's out of the car.

 

Yhea, I got the auto motor. I've had the thing for over a week now. Just waiting on the guy to install it for me. With everyday that passes I just want to do it myself. It's a time issue more than anything as to why I am not doing it myself. I also don't feel 100% sure of my abilities to do it myself and there is no local max owner who I know that has done a motor swap who could help.

I better see some 100mph traps. When I hit the track this fall I will have installed the headers, PF TB, and cat-back since the last time out. I will also have drag radials (sold my slicks). I am shooting for 13.7-13.8 @ 101ish

 

True, but the clutch and tranny are only 1yr old. Plugs, fuel filter..etc are all comming from my old motor which I have kept up with religously. I would only do cams if I was going with some JWT's and this is costing me enough money already.

What does suck is that I just replaced my water pump on my old motor two months ago.

 

Excellent ! nothing like the 97 (lucky number seven in there,lol !) And hey, welcome to the header club !

 

Nice...now I know how mine will look like...whenever it get here. Another week...still no headers.

 

me a newbie???? did you read how many posts i have....are you on crack??

-J

 

i was referring to mike joining the 'header club' LOL

 

oh my bad
-J

 

No more over 110 mph shifting.

 

You're still a n00b to me...























J/K

(And before anyone says it, yes, I am still a n00b to MANY of you on here!)

 

I have had a couple bad dreams of me doing the same thing to my new motor. I am not gonna lie, I will be taking it a bit easier from now on.

 

ah shoot i think we got trouble now

 

thanx MAN ....haha
-J

 

So, you miss-shifted?

Got link?

 

Ah, bad dreams about the car. I have had a lot of those (wrecking, overheating leading to blown headgasket, etc) lately.

 

i been dreaming about the complete opposite. my swap and how i am going to be shifting gears in my max finally. no auto. yeah.

 

Stop making me feel bad not having them....

 

So Mike, you're gonna swap the 5sp over to an auto?

 

Yes, and one with just one gear too.

 

i envy you. I want headers. but I plan on doing a motor this winter. I should hopefully be buying with about 80k on it soon.

Can't wait for the motor to get back in so we can see the I30 run some 13's n/a.

 

where can i order some cattman headers from? i hear that they are better than hotshot headers. kinda pricey though.
