It is the reference to how much more expensive vette parts are. You can get a set of headers for 500 bucks for an F-body made of steel. Most vette headers are over 1000 dollars because they only use stainless steel.

Cool deal. The Lg's are in my opinion the best for ME. KOOKS, stainless works, american acing,....those are all great brands for NA app's. Glad to see ou use something for tuneing the car. Have fun.

To me, adding long tubes was one of the best mods that I have ever done. YOu'll wish you would have done it sooner.

Peace out.

I figured thats what the tax was but justed wanted to make sure I guess they figure if we can fork out the car payment we probably can fork out more for mods!?!?!? Well parts should get here tomorrow and I will post numbers up as they come. Thanks for all your help.

Default 100 Octane for $1???

Send some of that back to the states! Can you tell a difference with 100 octane? It almost sounds like crack for cars . Mike F.

Its awesome running it you can really feel it and it is still unleaded as well! I wish we had a track here because we sit at sea level, fuel is cheap, weather is right, no humidity, and absolutely no taxes!!! So modding for fuel economy or budget is not a problem out here. What tends to be the problem is the shipping we get raped by fedex! Oh and by the way I can't send fuel back to the states. My folks are always complaining about gas prices there as well. LOL.
