Heh, well in that case, you should see my headers.
Drivers side is done, passenger side is still in progress, hopefully finished tonight but definitely by tomorrow. I'm willing to bet these are the only long tube headers on any M112 engine.

The story behind the multiple flanges on the drivers side... basically I was told that long tube headers are impossible on this car because of the steering column on the drivers side gets in the way. Yes, that person was correct... kinda.

The steering column box IS in the way, and there is no possible way to get 3 pipes past that area, BUT I had the idea of going DOWN instead of to the side, that way we can bypass the steering column room problem. And to make it where we don't have to disassemble everything the header is around just to put it in, I had the idea of multiple flanges and multiple pieces so it fits together from the bottom after the other parts are installed. It worked out quite nicely, and now the passenger side is coming along much easier and will be one piece. I took the cats off and had the O2 sensors mounted right next to each other on the collectors... will keep you updated with how the ECU reacts/complains about lack of cats.
