238,900 miles (384,400 km), that is a lot of work is it all paper work?

I do too.
The design is very simple and direct. It's a whopping 3 feet long and actually very quiet. It's also easy to move around if I start messing around with the intake manifold. Check out the header. LCE makes a really neato design that folds a long tube header into exactly the same space as the stock header. It fits like a glove! |

^^^ RE: "long tube header" - Please forgive this noob question, it really is a question and not a troll, but why does it matter the length of a pipe? Don't you want the exhaust to just get out via the back of your car rather than in the engine bay?

Well that's strange, I never would have guessed that would even affect the performance of a car. So exhaust pipes on the header make the engine work better rather than having nothing there to restrict... to me that's just really weird, hehe

It's all based on the Helmholtz principle, the Bernoulli effect and fluid velocity. Lots of crazy physics and maths to explain it, but not really relevant unless you're into that sort of thing. Here's my understanding of it: escaping exhaust pulses down each tube (Helmholtz), drawing a slight vacuum on the adjacent tubes (Bernoulli). Velocity and pressure of a fluid in a tube is decreased by increasing the diameter. Decreasing the pressure means easier flow, but lower velocity and less scavenging effect...I think.
