Default Put new headers on the GN last night

What a ***** of a job. I think I damn near cut every square inch of my hand putting these on. They are ATR stainless steel headers for a GN. Its funny because before I got my Integra my Buick was my daily driver. Then that changed and I started getting out of control on Brutus (My GN). These headers with all flanges, couplins, cross over pipe and wastegate dump costs $950 U.S brand new. The thing that got me when I started turboing my Integra was the price of these manifolds. I have double the amount of material and time, and my headers for my GN cost less then a tiny turbo manifold for these Hondas. Its incredible when you think of the money spent for what you get now a days. True these turbo manifolds for Hondas are amazing, but damn, don't you think the prices are a little out there? At any rate I finished my install last night and took my baby out for a rip with Slicks and C16 in the tank. What a ride it was. I had 30 psi on her and the bastard just kept me pinned in the seat. Hopefully this weekend I can bust into the 9 sec barrier at full weight 3550 with me in it.

I've always had good memories of GN's ever since I was a little kid riding in my dad's friend's GN back in the day. Damn, that thing was quick.

Thanks for the comments guys. With my old setup it ran low tens at 131 mph. Now I have up the size on my injector, turbo, exhaust and stall converter. So hopefully I should see at least 2 to 3 tenths difference. My tranny is stock modified. Everything I could possibily do to strengthen it up was done.

They are $950U.S brand new at ATR. I bought these off a guy that used them for 2 months then sold them to update his motor to a full StageII which require different headers then these ones. I got these for a $1000 Canadain with the HKS wastegate.
