hey bro, im just gonna tell you, HEADERS ARE BAD FOR A REARMOUNT.

And also, people probably didnt answer because this is a question that has been covered 100s of times here. A simple search would have yielded tons of info on this.

Haha... Years ago Zombie, 1320 and I have posted alot of info with our setups. From coated to fully wrapped with ceramic insulation and header wrap... We covered the reasons all the way down to the thermodynamics of air expansion / volume.

Years ago... they told us rear-mounts that we could never do it. Now I drive a low 9 sec car, and Zombie runs a DD that is capable of the same (affected some by altitude).

This spring I will see 8's... and thats with a rear-mount, AC, full weight, and now with O/D transmission!
