Default Re: Real Crossfire Headers - These ain't no stinkin' log style manifolds!!!

For the N/A guys, it would be a spendy package, but these headers paired with the Needswings down-pipes and 200-cell race cats would be a NICE bump in power. Mate it up to an SRT-6 cat-back, perform a resonator delete, and you have a drone-free system that will outflow anything else.

A solution for the plug wires (if nothing else is thought-up) is an aluminum heat shield (very similar to what isolates the ECU and fuse box from the engine bay heat) that could be bolted to the valve cover, which would cradle the plug wires. This would allow the headers to still be seen, as it would be a sin to hide these beauties, but it would provide a thermal barrier to the delicate plastic.

Thoughts?
