What's up Bro??? How you been? Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna set a 3 day weekend aside in a few weeks, and go through and do all the cleaning, plus intake.

What exactly do i do with the butterflies?

Thanks,
Joe


Be careful! The butterflies are thin as hell to begin with, therefore adding a countersink to them takes some patience, but the end result makes you feel all warm inside while holding the secondaries open and not seeing screw heads/threads protruding into the air passage.

I port matched my UIM/LIM/head inlets as well....may take a couple of R&R's to get up the nerve to go all the way.

What happened with selling the car...no credible hits? Good luck in whichever road you take!

Yea.. I had a few good hits, but in the end i decided to keep it. to get a car with simaler features would cost me alot more than im paying now. so im gonna keep it for a while.

You could find a set of Mazda MPV headers. Instead of dumping into one bank like the stockers, these are more tubular and at the bottom of the front header the stock one does a wierd crush 90 degree bend where the MPV do a smooth manderal bend. Also they don't have a catalist in them. You will need to weld a second boss into the y-pipe for your MIL for the MPVs don't have the one in the header. Should game some good exhaust flow with out spending an arm and a leg.
