Looks great, who is fabbing your headers? I live just down the road from you in Naperville and not aware of too many local shops (I assume they are local) that will taking on a project like this.

bnzuovr

Thanks!!! Im sure you are familar with them Fluid Motor Union, its alot of work but they needed a 55 to do some other test fitting of other parts so they hooked me up with the headers.

jrcart

That is who I thought you were going to say. Keep us posted

bnzuovr

I sure will as soon as i get her back, im sure ill see you around. Acually i think i saw you early last spring there was a meet on a sunday we all went up to tilted kilt. Back then i barely just got the car so did'nt know to many people.

Seems like everyone is going with long-tubes on the 55k these days and just 3 to 4 years ago it was almost considered taboo

Worth the wait

Looks nice....you pull the engine for the header fab????

tgoss

they look great! Can't wait to see what power you gain.

bnzuovr

Lol a few years back the prices were unreal and i figured i would pick up some more torque & A better exhaust note with the long tubes and without my primary or secondary cats but hopefully its not to loud still want to keep it some what classy lol.

Yeah they pulled the engine to do the header work i guess they test fittied some other things at the same time.

Can't wait to see the video and hear the exhaust note

bnzuovr

Im kinda stoked to see what kind of power it will put down. Last time i dynoed i had done my Power Chip tune and 180mm ASP pulley and it put down close to 445 rwhp. I resently added a johnson pump,VRP heat exchanger and headers so im kind of excited to see what kind of dyno numbers it puts down as well as what it will do at the track.

Make sure you have those Jet Hott coated as well!

Holy Shiat Batman the primary's look huge! or is that just due to the close up shot?

Long Tube's FTW!~!

bnzuovr

I was thinking about doing that but does this really keep the temps down ? I kind of like the look of raw stainless steal.


Are you talking about the collectors? Im not to sure about piping size and collector sizes ill post more details once i talk to them again.


LOL thats the only way to go my friend, BTW been meaning to tell you your car looks Fly with the BBS LM's that is if you still have them on there haha.

BenJ

It will help keep the temps down yes, but it will also help evacuate the exhaust quicker for more power. I'm the same way though and I prefer the raw look over the coated look and personally I would have them polished to really bring out the craftsmanship involved in these headers. Too often I feel that coatings are used to cover up imperfections and they really detract from the overall appearance of the product.

BenzoBoi

Long Tube's are definitely the way to go. Made my decision a while back and haven't looked back since!

Thanks fer the kind words. I haven't had the LM's on for a few weeks now. Took them off because I went to the track a few weeks ago and never got around to putting them back on. I'm tryin to enjoy a lil bit of time on 18's and some decent gripping tires before I go back to 20's.

Can't wait to hear how you like the LT's.

bnzuovr

I agree maybe i will leave them raw for now and later on down the line i can always remove them and either have them coated or polished.

What company did you go with for your long tubes? I won't ask if your happy with them or not cause i already see that you are haha.

BenzoBoi

I went with Hyevon Motors long tubes. I am definitely happy with them. Thanks to those guys my track numbers aren't too shabby

Thinkin about retiring from drag soon and going to the twisty track. Went a few weeks ago and I'm hooked...

bnzuovr

Sounds sweet to me what is your 1/4 mile times if u don't mind me asking, I my self have always wanted to do some auto-Xing but how well do you think the air suspension will hold up around all the twists and turns?

BenzoBoi

Check yer PM box for my times

The air suspension is definitely a weak link in our cars going around turns.

Those are some nasty looking pipes!! Are they equal length?

Hey Sun..... why the secreacy? Did you break your last Famoso record and we don't know about it or what? Common man, spill the beans

Hammer Down

Let me know how your recent purchase turns out

BenzoBoi

Hey Mo. Nothing like that. I only go out drag racing with you and the rest of the socal guys! You guys will always be the first to know IF I go/can go any faster.

Jus didn't want to take the thread off-topic.
