FPA headers installed, video with open headers

[danewers]

just got my FPA headers installed today! only took a couple hours to install and they fit perfect! i'm really happy with the headers i would totally recommend them to anyone. lemme know if you have any questions on the install!

and...the video!

Sounds mean, nothing like the sound of an uncapped v8!

Very cool I'm waiting for my FPA headers to arrive (next week?).

Looks like our cars are VERY similar. Power steering? Clutch cable?

i have hydraulic clutch linkage but it looks like you shouldnt have any problems with the cable clutch! i talked to stan at fpa and he said theres no interference with aftermarket cable clutch.

the only extra effort i had to do was unbolt the driver side engine mount and jack the engine up a few inches to get the header into place, but i was expecting to do that anyway. it couldnt have been easier.

don't want to hijack the thread, but do you guys know if a cable clutch setup will only work on t-5's? I'm under the impression it only works with t-5's but just wanna make sure. i'm having trouble with my new headers hitting my clutch equalizer bar just barely. thanks

yep its only for T5s. Either build a zbar to clear or knock the snot out of the header.

I ran my car with open headers when I finally got the engine in.....and drove it around the neigborhood! A couple times at that. It was mean as hell and I'm sure I made quite a few people mad as hell. I wish I shot some video of it like that, but I didn't have the digital camcorder back then.

Nice sound BTW.
