Yeh it does look nice but do they actualy provide beneficial gains?

I mean they are much much longer the the gm manifold so a lot of heat will be lost before it reaches turbo....can also mean higher engine bay temps.

I think you have to use them though if your using an aftermarket turbo which is sometimes positioned differently iirc?



Equal length runners......
If you get it ceramic coated, it helps with heat loss.

engine sounds fun though....

aiming to use it on track or waste it on the 1/4mile

Either one - gives the excuse to loose the pimp interior. I just think it looks weird with trimmed seats, cage, stack type dash etc.... it just doesnt fit, and all looks show :S

Think there split pin fasteners as the bumper comes off so often.
Rick is waiting on a new grab handle to be fitted, so its probably tape covering holes at a guess.

Please correct me if im wrong Rick

THINK they are Manta 400 mirrors, fairly rare, but a bit curvey for a nova, would like to see them on a corsa.

Yes the tape is covering the holes for the grab handle to stop waterr getting in.

Screws are holding on the front bumper as its got no iron behind it.

Styling is how i wanted it, i hate the euro look and i hate body kits.
