What's a good place in Tucson to get header's installed? I have to put headers on my wife's Bird just so I can install the dipstick tube. Any suggestions? Tom, I know what you are going to say, but you can say it anyway.

 

Yeah, Exhaust Works on Broadway. I think that they do good work. They told me $200 installed for headers on the IROC.

If you want, we can just do it ourselves. We can do it this weekend. I am off for Fri, Sat, and Sun. We can work at night, seeing as it is not that cold and I have all the lights at my place.

 

Well since I"m unemployed and have a ton of tools and I have experience doing shorties and long tubes on like 20 different thirdgens...........I'll do it for $100. Need the money bad so let me know if you are going to take it somewhere............I"ll do it for less money gauranteed!

 

I may take you up on that. But I have to take care of some other stuff first. (Like my possessed power antenna!!!)

 

After I do the headers, I need to transfer my A.I.R. system to Amber's car to pass emissions.

 

Too bad im not there to help. Doing toms headers was a lot of fun let me tell you. So chris your unemployed? what happened. missed a few days of work? when i come back ill have to check out ambers car. might still have some parts for it, who knows.

 

Don't worry Eric, we'll leave you some work to do on her car!

 

bwahahaha

it's so easy to do it yourself, it would be a total wast of cash to pay 200 for theinstall, then again you do have a/c and that will definatly put haults to your install.


so whiteboy, when you get back were gona race right?

 

Nope, he is in the military now. Has to be a good boy like me and not street race. Now, at the track is a different story.

 

why can't you pas emissions with the stuff thats on the car right now? i think it shouldn't be problem if its all there. it doesn't have to work it just needs to be there.

 

the track is like how many people there are to 1 chances of actually racing the person you want. Besides, I'm sure he won't back down .

 

The car passes the sniffer and gas cap test, but when they looked under the hood they laughed. It's pretty obvious that the A.I.R. system was not setup.

 

dude, her's is V-Belt correct, and I take it yours is serpentine, the smog upmps are not interchangable so looks like you need to go buy yourself a smog pump.


Chris will get you past emissions, for a price lol.

 

i secound that right now would be a good time chriss is broke and has not job willing to do it for cheap, give hem your car for a day and when you get it back you would no longer have to worry about emissions.

 

What kind of headers did you get?

I've read where Willie said that a v-belt air pumps can be used on a serp setup. So the other way around should work too, just need a v-belt pulley. You might want to ask him.

 

The headers were a freebie (1 5/8") not sure what brand. It's also a serpentine setup, not V-belt. I might let Chris do it, what do you say Chris, do you think you can help with emissions?

 

Nope no racing for me. Way too much to lose. Think I pretty much grew out of it so its pretty much just the track for me. I dont even think I'll drive it when I get back due to it not having any insurance on it. Hey Tom when you get here we'll have to check out the track. I get phase II when I get back so I'll be able to leave base.

 

Yeah, just let me know when you want to do it. And just by chance I have a perfectly good serpentine smog pump sitting in my parents shed in vail, so if you want it, just give me some gas money to go out there and get it.

 

Uh oh. Was that Tom or Eric that just said that?? The classic Tom "only for the track" and only at the track once a year. hahah j/k

 

Chris, just PM me with your phone # & we will figure out all the details. Thanks man.

 

This from a guy who'd run my VW from almost every light on the way home.

People pay to install headers?

 

I helped Tom with his, after the first 8 hours I was all funned out!!!

 

You are too funny..................NOT! I know, I know.....j/k!

Eric now knows just how much trouble he can get in if he is caught street racing. I need to get to the track to see what my times are before I leave here. I have not been since I put on the new hood or the exhaust and a few other little things.

Jet,

You were only tired out cuz you had been up all night, then you tried to stay up all day. You cant hang with the big dogs!

The headers would have been a breeze, if I didnt have my AC and emissions stuff on.

 

Ok, well Amber has all of her A/C stuff in place. Hence, the problem.

 

I know. It would be a pain, but it will be well worth it. I would be willing to help whoever does it, if the need be. You helped me, so I can return the favor.

 

Where did you get the headers jet? You have a ypipe to go with it?

 

I got the headers from my father-in-law. He got them from a guy parting out his T/A. They are in good shape, but are missing the A.I.R. tubes. I'm just going to use the tubes of Tom's old exhaust manifold. There is no Y-pipe, so we will have to rig something, I just need to pass emissions and get it registered.

 

My headers fit in fit with all the A/C stuff in place. Just a few of the rear bolts had to be accessed from underneath. More of an annoyance then a problem.

 

So when do you want to tackle it. I have to help my father-in-law drop in a new tranny, driveshaft, shifter, seats, and brakes on Sat.
