finally got them last night and man do these things look good. Its just ashame the charge pipe is going to cover them up. I will post some pics this evening before i start installing them. Hopefully i will get as good of #'s as Stephenmax

This whole week i have been installing parts and doing repairs .So far i have the emanage wired up, 2.87 pulley on the blower(just need to put the blower back in), and checked the VIAS. Now i am just waiting on the UR drive pulley and exhaust cutout. Installing these SOB's should take the cake on the PITA scale

 

Looks like you have been busy. Cattman headers right? They are beautiful. When I got mine I did not know if I should install them or hang them on the wall. Good luck with the install.....heheheeh pita

 

no i got the hotshot, which means even more fun installing

 

Damn Chris youre goin all out!

 

yea i'm trying to get the car done with this week so i can stop worrying about modding it and concentrate on school and save some money

 

Car, modding, concentrating on school, and saving money in one sentence. Good luck with that

 

ha i know you're right. I figure if i max out the supercharger setup then i can't buy anything else. But then again i will probably want to go turbo

 

when are the slugs going to ride again? i would like to see some dyno slips from you soon.

mike, call me. I might put the s/c back on tonite and see if i have time to dyno with you tomorrow.

wait-just talked with scott. friday is completely open. can you come over tomorrow nite and start the install with me. then friday we can install the 370's (since i have never done that one before) and dyno on fri.

 

Chris, you have an UR pulley, but which one? I just want to clarify that you're not running an underdrive pulley and the S/C at the same time...

 

No i have the stock diameter one.

 

Update

Well i finally got the front manifold situated. Between getting drunk the last few nights, watching the NCAA tournament, and being generally lazy I have been working very slow . I had to get a new 02 bung welded on because the position that it was originally in positioned the 02 sensor right into the AC compressor. Everyone else said they had a interference with the AC line but mine was interfered with the actual compressor and there was no way i was going to make any room. These headers look awesome in the engine bay. Its just ashmame you can't see them with the damn charge pipe running across the top.

 

Chris I want to see the headers, in person before they go on would be nice.



You should have been there at BWW. It was awesome Peter's ECU was swapped into like 3 different cars. I want mine.

 

i want hotshots ((

 

The headers look good but wow the intake manifold on 5th gens is so much harder to get off than on 4th gens. Nissan decided to double the amount of bolts attaching it. There are 8 bolts to lower IM and 4 rear bolts to engine. That is just excessive.

 

There are enough stubs of the IM log to accept four brackets. Yeah that is excessive. I only have one now.


Thats not totally true. You could always remove the AC. Other than that hindrance it sounds like you're cookin' along.
