I had to venture through a snow storm to pick these up but wow are they pretty! Thanks again !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ! The e30 will be a happy car come this summer. On a side note I picked up this MK4 Golf (below) this past weekend with the plans to make it my winter beater. As soon as I can get it's problems fixed (hopefully Saturday) then I can get the e30 off the road [ and off the salt ] and get started with repairing the few small rust spots, put together the exhaust, build/install my megasquirt and give the engine a good tune up (timing belt, valve adjustment). I can't wait!

Are those aftermarket headers? They look super sexy!

Yup and they are super long tube and ceramic dip coated. So they are ceramic coated inside and out for optimum exhaust gas heat retention and velocity. Or something like that.

The stock m20 exhaust manifold looks like this.

Currently I have these shorty headers in my car which are much better than stock but overall not really that great.

Do they have anything were it is a 6 into 1 header? You would get some pretty good top end power with that, but not much mid range. Plus the orgasmic sound! Jaguar made their V12 race cars with a 6 into 1. It was beautiful :')

And those manifolds look disgusting. My car came stock with "headers" but they were pretty terrible. Replaced them with some much nicer ones, not ceramic coated. That would have been an extra 200 dollars.

No 6-1 options available but right after the end of these will be a y-pipe and then a single 2.5in all the way back. These headers should net me some extra low end torque so hopefully that will more than cancel out any negative effects of dropping down to a single exhaust.

Yeah the stock manifolds are hideous relics of the "lets cast everything" era.

Haha will definitely need to do a before and after video. They really are very sexy.

ITB's are on hold for now. Ran in to some a bunch measurement issues. I should put together a post detailing all of them.
