thinking of changing over to 180 headers and mufflers, i was wondering what other modifications need to be made for this application....
I have a set of custom 180 degree headers and mufflers for sale. I can send you pictures if you are interested. I am not going to use them in my car, but the few things I know need to be changed are: remove decklid struts and their lower mounting brackets, relocate the swirl tank to the overflow location, relocate the over flow tank to the charcoal canister location-if you have one, fabricate heat shields of some type to protect the underside of your decklid. The system I have includes the rear panel cut out for two 3" pipes and a support bracket that bolts to the ZF. There may be more that needs to finish up but these are the big points. Others may chime in with more detail.
Email me if you want pictures of the system.
