    Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I had a question about this beast...
    Those headers - are they custom made? I know a guy who just made some for his Fiero, which had me thinking about making some for my car. If yours are, too, that will give me more motivation to come up with something for my heap.

    And to continue the obligatory jaw dropping, that is one SICK car! Very nicely done!

    They are Kooks for a Marauder, They had to be cut up and rebuilt, not a easy job. Still waiting on getting tranny issus resolved so I can drive it! May be spring before it hits the streets. Thanks for the comments! Dont know what is sicker, me or the car!

    Oh, okay. Looks good for being cut up and all.
    It's just disappointing no one makes any headers for the aeros... Maybe I'll start designing my own.

    Ok guys it has been a long time since an update was done. I went over to visit last week and heard the car run and watch a pull on the dyno. It made 663 at the rear wheels and 580 torque. This was at 6800 rpm and 19 lbs of boost. All that is left now is the road test to make sure she is ok. That will be a while with the weather we have had. The Transmission problem is fixed along with some other issues. The plumbing is quite differant than the pictures tht are up. The other interesting thing on the dyno pull was the fact that it was on pump gas and 14 degrees of timing. There is a lot more to be found later on. Goona be a long wait till spring now!
