oh that one sexy beast, i love the no badges (IMO) you should put the turbo like a previous member did on this tail lights, forgot who but with a search you'll find it, it looked sweet, btw is it hard to keep that valve cover clean??? and whats your 1/4

Looks great! I love the set up you have chosen, it all goes very well together. How does the exhaust sound? (Loud, Quiet, Deep, ect)

What header is that?

The FMIC looks like a Griffin 20x10x2.75, am I right?

Man I'm in love, the only thing I would do to her, is maybe black rims to contrast the white (you have black leather too). NICE CAR!!!

Did you install your tubular header from DN performance?

If so, what size/quality bolts did you use for the tubo to manifold, as you need shorter bolts with that manifold. I'm interested because I will probably be pirchasing that manifold.

Also, how hot does the engine bay get without a heat shield on the manifold?

Nice car.

Thannks,
Eric

I've been trying to answer everyone's questions about the header on a "one-on-one" basis through private messages, but here's the deal. I got the header from DN Performance (http://www.dnperformance.com/eclipse.html) It flows really well, I like the way it directs the exhaust flow straight at the turbine housing instead of making the exhaust turn down 90deg at the turbine housing as a stock manifold would, helps spool-up :D . All the tubes are equal length.

The bolts required to mount the turbo at the flange are the only fasteners that need to be changed. The front 2 bolts need to be shorter to clear one of the tubes on the passenger side and the shorter thread depth on the driver's side.

Requirements;
the 2 bolts at the front of the turbo need to be 10 x 12.5 x 30mm
the 2 bolts at the rear of the turbo need to be 10 x 12.5 x 40mm

I hope this helps, Mike.
