Well here are some more recent shots...installed header tonight...nothing too fancy just a Megan Racing 4-1 header.
when i got it....

now with headers and other misc. ive installed
vtec solenoid with pretty vision motor sports billet cover

engine bay shots....



header shots...





nice shot of valve cover..

 

dang...no love for da header? i know wat some will say or think about the red silicone lines but i got them for free and they were lying around and i was bored so thus there they are

 

looks clean man. so whats next?

 

actually tomorrow........ its a custom mandrel bent 2.5" exhuast from the cat back to the flowmaster. then hopefully im gonna do my timing belt, arp head studs, cams, dual springs, port and polish head, re build head possibly with ss valves, titanium retainers, bronze valve guides..the works and a cometic mls head gasket, port matched 65 or 68mm TB and aftermarket IM. hopefully in the next 6-8 months at latest.

 

got my exhaust done today only cost me $144 so in all i have only have $319 for my entire exhaust...pretty good IMO. Its 2.5" mandrel bent piping w/ 18" resonator and the same flowmaster muffler i had on it. Sounds real nice and deep. I guess i'll take some pics not that its all that impressive

 

Why did you waste money on a header when you have boost in your plans?

BTW Megan = :down:

 

cuz im at least a year away from boostin and wanted some DECENT hp in the mean time and wasnt about to spend $350+ for a "good name brand" header. im happy so far with the megan header. plus plans can fail so time will tell what happends

 

i agree y waste on header when u going boost u shoulda saved the money but i made the same mistake ha
