It is.

The welds and metal work are awesome on the front end. It's going to look better with a turbo sitting up there

Car is sick as always!!! ive seen a lot of people wrap the stock manifolds and put heat Shields back on them and wrap the rest of the hot side and they said it helped make the turbo spool up much faster and kept un wanted heat off other parts. i know it wont look as good but much more functional.

what i mean

Yes they do, filler will not accept the factory neck.

On a side note FAST throttle bodies are pieces of ****! Mine is new and the set screw design doesnt even come close to working.

Ok thanks and just to make sure these are a raised valve cover, correct? Apparently they clear the l92 valvetrain but curious if they are tall enough to clear some aftermarket rockers also.
