    not yet, but if he still persists on having me do only headders, maby really if he does not let me, I'll just reattach the stock exhaust and put the turbo on at home. it would be nice to run the new exhaust standing up under a lift, but I could do it on my back under the car, like I have in the past

    yeah but then you're wasting money on headers that you dont even want/need... and no one should force you to waste money
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day

    no, I just won't buy them, there's only a few sources for them. www.classicinlines.com is the most well known, but only does online orders needing a credit card. there not exactly somthing that my teacher could order from Napa and put on the class account there. as for building the engine for the turbo, I'll just tell him I'll order the internal parts from my own sources ( IE Ross racing, Northern Auto Parts, Comp cams ect... )

    If you are building the motor for a turbo,there should be no problem bolting the stock manifold on.Drive home and install the turbo and pipe.
    Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)
