[QUOTE="sluggish94, post: 1471641, member: 25015"] I had a chance to throw the headers on today. Here's a picture comparing the factory headers to the Edelbrock headers: [ATTACH=full]6453[/ATTACH] Here's one of the stock header ports vs. the aftermarket header port. I did clean the port opening just a bit. Anything helps, I'd say. [ATTACH=full]6454[/ATTACH] I also opened up the collector on the Edelbrock headers to a true 2.5in. Here's the one I hacked vs. how they came. [ATTACH=full]6455[/ATTACH] ARP bolts were less than $20 bucks so I threw some on there. They look nice. [ATTACH=full]6456[/ATTACH] Passenger side installed. Wrapped the #3 plug wire with some heat tape for extra insurance. Nothing crazy. I had to make a weird plug contraption with two washers, a nut and a bolt right where the EGR plug was because it was previously plugged with a penny. I'm definitely an engineer. [ATTACH=full]6457[/ATTACH] Driver's side all good: [ATTACH=full]6458[/ATTACH] Did I feel a difference between the stock shorties and these? I think yes. I think there has been a very slight gain with all three mods I've done, Full exhaust, 1.7 Roller Rockers, and TB. Altogether though they have made quite the difference in sound and performance, without sacrificing drivability. Next is a set of these Explorer 19's I got for pretty inexpensive: [ATTACH=full]6459[/ATTACH] The idea is better fuel atomization from the 4 hole's at the pintle cap as opposed the single outlet on the stock 19s. I also got a Walbro 255LPH in-tank pump so that will also be going in soon as well. Most recent picture of Dirty Money: [ATTACH=full]6460[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking. [/QUOTE]
