I have 180's created by Dan Lemon of Lemon headers in Atascadero, Ca,the increase over standard headers was dramatic seat of the pants impressive, i love them!!!.
That would be something but I still want to use the luggage trunk and I will not reroute the AC condensor. A nascar style header would be preferable
