Default new headers

just finished my headers, ory, and motor mount install last night everything turned out great am really happy with the fit of the headers and y can't even tell there on there till you look under the car. I am impressed by the quality of the pacesetters and instant inprovement in the car, ran it today best pass before was 12.81 112mph in april today ran 12.63 114mph in the heat, and still need to get it dyno tuned.
