Reeeeeggggggggiiiiiiieeeeeeeee maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate... looking brilliant, perhaps you can help me out in the future installing a set of headers on my nc when i finally get around to it !

That T304 finish does look very nice, are you going to put any heat shielding in there or do you think its probably unnecessary?

Reggie, Kris is right, put the old heat shield back on. It will keep the heat away from your brake lines.

That's a battery conditioner. It was taped to the firewall. It's been removed now

I guess the previous owner didn't drive the car much only had 20,000kms for a 07 model :D

All I can say is wow... The headers....what a difference


Man the car breaths soooo much better now. Great power delivery all they way to rev limiter... Havent got bungs welded in yet for O2 sensors. So it's running rich as ATM.....will be much better when the sensors are installed
