^^^That'd be nice, but I'm cut off now

Time to start putting money into other more important areas: wedding band, wedding, mortgage down payment... yaddy yaddy yadda...

Promises were made to be able to do this, now I gotta keep my word. ...Nobody said that I couldn't get stuff for christmas or my birthday though!

If and when I go to try to get more top end out of it, I'm first going to tackle the header. I'm curious to see if it's the oem header, or catback, that's the bottleneck. A nice 4-1 header should open up the top for me...if it doesn't, then I know it's my exhaust.

Is there any way we can convince you to pay $100 for a test pipe? Im sure that would yield a nice gain.

it's already in there. Basically, the test pipe is probably what gave me the +2 rwhp up top.

I am having a HORRIBLE time trying to find a local place to build me a 70mm headerback.....

even if i find a supplier that carrys the tubing, i still haveto find a place that has the right tools to bend it.

any help guys? im thinking about just gettng a straight piece of 70mm and ordering a couple differant degree bends, do it myself.

it'll be a little hard to find a place in socal. when I was looking for a shop all of them said they would either do 2.5 or 3 inh. No one seems to go by mm.

i'll post up a pic of my custome 70mm tonight, its off the car right now in my second bedroom so you can see the bends in it. it made +7rwhp +3rwtq and it was totally custom.

I think you should try the Berk header since it's 50mm piping. Since you're moving quite a bit more air than a stock S2000, the larger piping will probably come in handy. You don't want to spend $$$ on a header only to find out that it's still a bottleneck.

Megan has 2" primaries, 2.25" secondaries, and 2.5" out. I actually really like the Tracy Sports header too
