Cool as hell man, they look really good, big props to ya. My original plan was to build a set of headers for my swap, but I just decided that I want to have a chance at driving the flippin' thing this year, so now I'm buying a set of exhaust manifolds to use for the summer.

Building the headers will make a nice project for over the winter... (& I hope that they turn out half as well as yours have!)
