no the coating i do comes in several different colors and finishes. silver, flat black, satin black, and for some reason that i am not sure of they have a bronze/gold finish. i used the satin on all my stuff so it all matched and looked factory.

Soooo.....i may have to end up using the FRPP manifold on the pass. side and the MAC on the driver side, they are both 1.5" i beleive.....the MAC on the driver side fits better, but the FRPP fits better on the pass. side,lol.not 100% set on it but from sizing things up and getting them to clear the frame,may be my best bet!

took some measurements off a buddies car.......this is getting even more tough to keep the a/c how it is and use forward facing headers.....starting to wonder if its really worth it?

Ran into this problem as well.

I am thinking about running a passenger side mounted normal, and a driver side mounted frontwards. Merging the pipes at the collector on the driver side with a T4 flange.

i thought about that, but im worried the heat in the driver side cylinders would be alot higher than the pass side......so if one goes to the rear, they will both go to the rear.

looks like im going back to the drawing board......its just not going to be worth the headache of trying to do the forward facing headers and keep my A/C.....after looking at pics of the HP turbo kits, i beleive this time around i will mimic this kit. looks to be the best as far as the amount of pipe being used.

going to use my MAC equal length headers, replace the collector connections with v-band connections and go from there.
