Pretty self explanatory thread, post up photos of your Motors and Engine bays etc. Need more car related stuff on here, so doesn't matter if they are clean or dirty, modded or stock. I'll start with my old EF XR6. :x I'll get one of my EA tomorrow maybe LULZ.

Wow, those headers in BI6TIM's engine look awesome!!! The ones belonging to 'Turbodrift'
What brand are they? Expensive?

they are pretty much a copy of the pacemaker comp extractors.

they just have larger primaries, and most likely secondaries.

They are no brand, they were custom made by 'Fat Pipes' up here in QLD. They are similar to the Pacemaker Comps in design but there are a fair few differences and yes the primaries are bigger and so are all the other pipes. They go way down under the driver to a 3" flange and a 3" exhaust all the way back.

Yeah the Brock goes alright, though it still hasn't been to the dyno for a proper tune. The only tuning it has had is what Kelvin and Brett have done on the street.
It is deffinately going to be a monster when it's done, you can feel the potential in it now. I would say those pipes would be overkill for most people, the engine in the Brock is pretty stout and can feed those things. For your average quick N/A car the Pacemakers are fine, OED666's car still has Pacemaker Comps on it.

I'll have the paint work of your engine bay anyday, but i'll keep my 4.0L :P

Mine also have a 3" flange. The new Pacie Comps have larger primaries and secondaries then the extractors I have. I'm not going to waste turbo fund money on that shiznit.
