Nice!! Can you use oil filter or have to use relocation. The one thing I didn't care for with my new on3 kit is oil filter relocation, I don't trust oil filter relocate.

im not sure if it will fit with the oil filter in the stock location or not. i will mount the headers up on the motor tonight or tomorrow and let you know for sure. I do know that he said the 4" downpipe would not fit with the stock fan/shroud. I havent used that in a long time anyways, it has an aftermarket fan on it. Youll need to modify or remove your a/c lines also

Its 16 gauge mild steel. The headers have 1 5/8" primaries and the crossover tube is 2 1/2". Header flanges are 3/8" and the turbo flange is 1/2". Ill have pics of it mounted on the motor here soon. I asked him about building me a coldside and he said he didnt have a car there at the shop to get it done right now. Hes going to build me an intercooler for it though. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of work that is done

Yea I guess im going to have to get everything coated. I really dont want to because it looks so nice as it is now, but if I dont it will rust. I coated everything in assembly lube for now. Kind of wishing I had spent the extra money and got it all done in stainless, but heck I am still satisfied with it and wont need to worry about cracks with the mild steel
