The headers are Sanderson's with ceramic coating. They are a little dirty from my hand prints, but Windex will clean them up. I oredered them with 1 5/8 primaries and a 3 inch collector. I am pretty sure 1 1/2 are standard and it didn't cost anymore for the bigger primaries either.

What gauges and bezel did you use for the dash? That is one of the nicest setups I've seen on here.

Bowtiefreak · 09-20-2005, 09:35 AM

The dash is a No Limit piece that you can buy from them with or with out gages. I ended up getting the Autometer carbon fiber gages from a boardmember here about a year ago.

Looking great! Bet you can't wait to start shredding tires.
