Speaking of headers, did you even make a decision on which ones you were going to get?

Negative. Most likely will be the Tomei EL though.

Also, just shot my load on a set of RCE Tarmac Zeros so... there's that. Install coming soon

Nice! I look forward to seeing that. The Tomei EL are good headers too so can't go wrong.

So figured out the frontpipe/overpipe fitment. It was not caused by the Cosworth header. In fact, it was the v-band clamp. I had it turned wrong and simply twisted it and it cleared just fine.

However, there was a leak because the provided donut gasket did not provide a secure fit to my HKS catback. When I attempted to replace it with a grimmspeed 2.5" donut gasket and it was just barely too small. Like by 1mm!!! Unfortunately, in removing it, the damn thing unraveled! I've never seen a gasket like it.

And here are some pics of the Cosworth header. Currently paired with the oem overpipe and frontpipe.

After seeing the pictures in your engine bay, I can say that it is huge! Too bad it is not available anymore. Certainly one of the best designs.

I will say it is pretty.

Update:
Attempted to reinstall my JDL ultra quiet combo pipe today. It appears Cosworth/ Nameless and HKS are not easy to warm up to. The JDL pipe was still rattling against the subframe, despite shoving it up as high as I could. As well, the donut gasket used (which they sent me a replacement for destroy the original so excellent service JDL!), does not appreciate HKS. Though I admit the Cosworth headers mated with the stock front pipe still sounds very nice.

I did invent a new type of yoga: Car Yoga!

For now, I will be ordering the AVO coated overpipe. I might do a front pipe, but the one I have in mind only comes with a header and would be the single most expensive pipe. But I know it will fit (hint... HKS).
