hiop headers...... i take it you mean the exhaust manifold?????

if so...

do you get the blueing on them once they have gotten hot a few times.....

Fox · 05-05-2003, 05:34 AM

no, headers. he doesnt run a turbo set up. And blueing is when the steel hits 600 degrees farenhiet. Im not sure if a normal engine's exhaust heat will reach these temps.
They look good, did you install them? If so did you remove the Cat? some people do some dont.

its against the law over here to remove the cat of a car....
if removed the car wont pass an MOT and you can face a fine....

actually fatty, it is illegal here too. California has the strictest emmissions laws in the world.

i have heard of people have a removable cat, so when the MOT comes they just fit it back in, but the police can call in the ministary of transport to check the vehicle to see if its been removed....

heh...we have the strictest emissions in cali but you can always find a way hehe

LoL i didnt mean remove the cat for gains. I meant remove the cat to make instalation easier. When i was working on my tranny i removed the cat cause it makes things easier to get to.
