I got the painted. I scrape the 3-bolt flange if I don't back out of the driveway just right.....

I really can't tell the difference in performance after the car is warmed up. I went back to stock because of clearance issues. My body sags in the rear(Wocka Wocka) and needs the rubber spacers replaced. I need to drop the entire Sub-assembly to do that. And to top things of the EMPI, Chinese Built, linkage for the ICT's is the biggest hunk of junk! I am getting the CB performance kit http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=539 for when I put them on my Beetle. I really want to build a higher quality stinger to fit the ISP header. Do you know where I can get a motorcycle pipe for cheap? :twisted:

Not exactly....I didn't know that the muffler would rob so much power with the way i like to drive. The header from ISP is soooo much better quality than the EMPI POS. It fit perfect, the EMPI has slip flanges and has alot of spots for leaks. If I go back to a stinger, I want one with quality chrome and a baffle that isn't gonna fly out on the freeway. I need to clean my distributor next. My timming marks are twitchy, so something is gummed up inside. And I am not putting electronic ignition in a 6V car.
