      OK, wel let me know when you're ready because here, in aruba they can make the headers, but it doesn't looks as nice as yours or the other ones out there. And they are made with black steel so heavy.

            Mine were made from schedule 40 pipe... Bout 1/8" thick. And pretty damn heavy... When I do get a TIG, I will be workin on some equal length, more to lighten things up a bit.

            My local HFT has a 130 Amp 220v TIG on sale now for $199, but it appears it can only do thin stuff...

            I plan to get:

                I have a 99, which means I didn't need to replace my connectors.

                As for the headers, it really depends upon the overall final design, etc.

                  OK, well then I'm gone buy the injectors only because I to have a 99 car.
                  Btw I have called http://www.turbochargedpower.com/ and asked them for a est price on the turbo headers they told me that it was @ 600-700 dollar. It' a very nice headers but I can't afford it right know.

                    Hey Todd
                    I have bought the ss valve and the LS6 valve springs. But what valve seal do i need to use because I have a 99 car, and I saw that they use gen2 3.1 valve seal ok cool m but the thing is the 3.1 engine uses 6 intake and 6 exhaust so what do I need to buy.
