YEEAAHHHH, today I finally got those headers installed :cheers:

Here's a link to a little bit of film so you know what it sounds link now.

Here's some pics. WHY DON'T PICTURES WORK ON THIS SITE??
The old and the new header, that new one sure weights a lot less!! (7kg)

The whole header has been wrapped in this heatwrapstuff. SO it now kinda
looks like a cats toy (where cats can put their nails in)
Because of this stuff the enginebay will get less hot.

And this is what it looks like completely mounted.

Oh, yeah, this is what happened when we started the engine.
Before putting the heatwrap on the header, you have to make it wet, what
you see here is the steam caused by the water.

It sure makes a big difference, the throttle response is much better and it
as more power 2.

I also had a rear strutbrace and swaybar from Whiteline installed, this makes
for way better cornering.

Yeah, I don't get it, it works on other forums.
Check out this link to the UK 323, you will be able to see pics there.

you will also see a pic of the part that caused a small problem.

So i take it that really the only problem was the rear header where the pipe comes down and the flange when you cut a little section out/or lined it up ?

Also have you got a picture at the front (front header) and how come it is to the radiator/fan ?

The reason i ask is i might be doing it soon as well

You the rear bend only had to be put in line.
The front was not a big problem, we did remove the metal plate that is on the
rear of the radiator and cut out a little piece of the plastic (which holds the
fan for the radiator).

You will also have to reposition the cat (bring it more to the middle of the car).
