Long and Short tube headers
Is there still an interest in these for the c32? Short tube in the 850-950 range and long tubes in the 1300 range? T-304 1.875 primaries 2.50 collector on long tubes and stock for shorties?

+1 How did you figure out the design and how low do the down pipes sit on the bottom of the car?

I think my intercooler might be leaking, so I would definitely be interested for the right price. I like the idea that stillen came up for a top mount intercooler, where it has a removable core.

Each core is rated to 150 hp 2 tubes per side should work great!

following this with interest. long time member short time poster. are you a fabricator by trade? or farming the work out? the long tubes will also work with the srt-6 and the slk32. bigger market if your looking to sell more units. top mounted i/c is a big draw how do you plan to run the air intakes? 150 per side may not be enough more than a few cars north of 400 crank hp

He does his own fabrication and I think he even does carbon fiber work.

sounds interesting. top mounted i/c is a dream im thinking as the price is usually more than half what these cars are worth. but if you need a guinea pig...... long tubes would work for all the r170, xfire and c32 as the exhaust has to be modded to fit. shorty's would have to be chassis specific. carbon fiber hood, trunk and roof panel for my slk32 would be nice! oink oink!
