My hair touches the roof a little at the moment, I know to put the helmet on afterwards!

Talk to AIG (on this forum) about the OE low seat rail...he had the same problem as you.

Personally i think you will be disapointed with the headers. I think you should go twinscroll. Get twinscroll headers, turbo, modify the exhaust, maybe need new sump to etc. If you like you can come for a drive in my car with the twinscroll. Its amazing with virtually no lag.

PM me if you like and ill take you for a drive.

Good advice this, I have twin scroll on my V6 Sti, great for a street car.

cheers

Yeah but dont forget atleast a few hundered for tuning the thing, New Autronics can be had around the $1800 mark if you know where to look.

Good for you mate, do you feel much difference with the car now?

to be honest i didnt have the time or the energy to go bargain hunting, and was happy to pay for the convenience of a one stop shop. if it was a weekend toy then i would be trying to save a few$$ and do everything myself and buy parts online, but being so short staffed at the moment i just need to be able to drop it off and pick it up, except for every second friday night where i can work on the car from 8pm-2am :P FML.....
