Well I'm glad to hear something good about the FLP's. I found a pretty good deal on them and I really like the design so those will probably be the headers that I'll go with.
I have one more question for you guys...what length o2 extension's will I need on a 95 TA? and if possible, square or flat?

SRZ, how difficult was it to install your FLP's?

Thanks everyone for all the input. It's very much appreciated!

Install wasn't too bad but me being a 93 I broke my oil pressure sending unit since it's located at the bottom of the blk. Are you keeping all emissions hookups? I did one from the top and one from the bottom can't remember which since it was so long ago.

I've got rust on the collector which is minimal and slight coating coming off at the beginning of the collector but I've had those headers on over 3 yrs so I can't complain. The 02 extension should be for the passenger side at least it was for me.

Well after hearing about your flp's and some others also...sounds like they're holding up pretty well. Not sure if I'm going to keep the emissions hookups or not. Haven't made up my mind on that yet.

I know I'm not going to...I can't wait to have my car clear of that AIR and EGR junk. Also, I'm gonna delete the rear O2's...yet another advantage of building my own y-pipe, no bungs needed.

I've had them on my spark plug boots right next to some uncoated shorties for quite some time now and they've worked awesome.
Yes, I ran the heat sleeves, and even they couldn't save the plug wires.

You seem set on the FLP's - good luck to you.

Yea I'm ordering them the beginning of next week. Hopefully I won't have too big of a problem with the wires, but if i do it's nobody's fault but my own since I'm so hard-headed. haha

I haven't had any problems with my plug wires with FLP's. Stock wires, stock routing. I did use a couple of zip-ties to keep the wires from getting too close where it looked like I might have problems. I'm also using accel shorty plugs which probably helps.

Well that's definitely good to hear! I'll be using TR55 plugs, but hopefully that won't contribute to the wires burning any more.
