Question for IWSTI:

Would you trade the black O.Z. Ultraleggeras I have on my car for Anthracite Prodrive PFF7's?

ah WTH...bump it up.


Just ordered a Perrin header and gaskets to add to the pile. I'll coat them with some VHT. Also made a deal with wrxceleration for a Kartboy pitch stop mount. Planning on grabbing the Group N engine and trans mounts soon too to lock everything down.

I need to get the wideband installed too.

I plan on going with a P&L rotated mount GT30R kit, but that changes daily, I swear. In the meantime, I'm just going to focus on doing everything on the platform.

Thanks to Josh at Import Image for extra quick shipping of my Perrin headers. I ordered them late Wednesday and had them Friday afternoon! Here are some pics I took of them after taking them out of the box:





Here's where improvement can be made with some slight porting, but for my purposes, I'm just leaving them as is since the runner diameter isn't that large to begin with:

Here's a pic of the collector...


All in all, the previous GT Spec I owned had larger diameter runners and a much cleaner collector. That's ok though, because for my purposes, a proven equal length is the way to go.

So I looked at the directions and saw this:



Then I saw this post by Jeff Perrin:
NASIOC - View Single Post - PERRIN - 2008WRX: Header and Up-pipe

If it's good enough for Jeff, it's good enough for me!


onto the coating:



finished:


I did 3 coats and the can was about empty. You can choose from different color choices, so I went with something close to CGM The finish looks good, with some overspray here and there because I suck with an aerosol can Now it's time to let it dry for 7 days then I'll install it and do the heat break-in through them.

Very nice. Those headers are definitely on my to-do list. Any videos with them on?
