Wow! Great job! I thought it looked pretty good before but the after really pops!

Nice job on the sanding and polishing!

It all looked great from what I saw

I never put headers on one of these cars. I keep them more original but I know you can get better horsepower and sound with headers. Borla is supposed to be the best. I have Magnaflow cat back exhaust and I like it.

exhaust is a personal thing... listen to videos of different cars and figure out the sound you want.

Wow, your T/A is beautiful. It is usually the catalytic converter that causes the heat issues. They seem to get hotter as they get older or plugged up. Several companies make heat sheilds that go under your carpeting.

Looks awesome man, good decision to stay with the original colour combination. I don't know why but I've always loved that colour and wheel combo on an 84.
