Default Forward facing passenger side header? We sure can!!

We get lots of calls from people asking if we could build passenger side forward facing manifolds. Again, I just want people to know we can custom tailor any kit the way the customer wants. Here is a pic of one we just did

You can see the plugs between the header pipes. It looks like you can get to them. It will probably not be as open with all of the coil packs and wires in place, but doesn't look too bad in this picture.

Hey John, for the average Joe that's going to be doing his own wrenching, with the help of some buddies...is this really no more difficult then putting on a set of headers?? (meaning without having a lift and professional tools handy)

And where are the pics of that twin kit?

I'm guessing that you can't keep AC with the passenger side header facing forward? So if you still want the AC, its gotta wrap around and under the kmember. You guys do great work, keep it up!

I posted these pics in a TTI race kit thread a while back thinking it might let you keep your ac with that kit and maybe it would work for this kit too. http://www.turbols6.com/gallery/view...umName=album07
It puts the AC compressor out to the side pretty far so it might hit the strut tower but I'm not sure. It's made by this company http://www.hotrodlane.cc/
So maybe if someone was interested in this kit and want to keep their AC, you should give them a call and maybe they could hook you up a bracket to move your AC.

thats pretty interesting looking...
at $500 I would rather just use a regular rear facing manifold if I was that intent on keeping my air... also, I got my Phamspeed kit here recently and it looks incredible. I havn't had a chance to check the fitment on the car yet, but it sure does look good. You can't beat the price for the work by a mile...

these guys have answered all questions promptly, and have exhausted the number of options that i've asked them, and every one of them has been a "yes, no problem" and i believe every last bit of it.

Same price 3400 bucks?? I'm really interested in your kit. Please respond to my PM.
Looking to buy here very shortly if all goes well. I'd like to have the passenger facing forward header/manifold as I have no A/C and a BMR tubular K member for huge clearance around everything so this looks to be the ticket for me. Do you still have to relocate the alternator? No biggie if you do. Do you have pics of this particular set up with everything completed? If you do, please email them to me jsbird1998@comcast.net

Also what HP level is the GT42 good to, would your recommend it to 15psi on a built 9.1-1 LS1/6? 600-650rwhp is my goal.
Sorry for all the questions..but its either this kit or N2O if all goes well.

Hey J,
Maybe I can take that D1 setup off you if you go turbo.

Nice welds and quality. Have you guys thought about doing a twin turbo kit for the GTO?
