I did, thanks Jason, I am debating to put them on or to use the $ and upgrade my track car.
BTW any thoughts on performance gains of a complete setup? I am sure there is ample weight savings...and due to 80s era cats and exhausts, a decent to respectable performance (hp) boost as well. Any rough fig of what I should expect from a member who either has or knows of someone who has gone this route?
In all honesty I am trying to get the straight line speed of my old NA2 NSX into my 328 reliably with out resorting to forced induction or comlex engine work. Since the weight of the 2 cars (328GTS and NA2 NSX) are nearly identical (around 3150lbs with the NSX about 35-90lb lighter depending on which source you use for 328 weight) I beleive that with the weight reduction a tubi would give and no cats, I can make up this difference in weight...and make up the 20 hp difference as well.
Thoughts? Would tubi headers on straight pipes be better? Overal thoughts? |

I have not met him in person yet, but I have swapped emails and we're working on an affiliate program between our two companies. |

Jason...I see you are in Texas and recommend Wayne's shop, thats impressive! Wayne is an incredible mechanic. He goes about major work with defined 'game plans' he presents to the customers. I trust you know is ties with Porche? I keep telling him that the $100/Hr he charges should be at least $125. This guy is worth every penny. |

I recommend SR Exotic as well, but if you still want the Tubi route, email me and I can get the full set up for you for $1000-$1500 off.

Omar...In about three weeks, I will be posting some detailed pic's of a custom Stainless Titanium exhaust I am haveing made for my 308. This puppy is a work of art and is a true tuned exhaust. Its running only $2500. Like is past posts, my mechanic who is building this has a strict focus on performance (while still delivering great sound). Check out the mechanic at www.srexoticautomotive.com, wayne hynes. |

Where would the best place be to get a complete 328 setup for my car? (headers, cat-by, exhaust)
Do they even still make Tubi headers for 328s?
Thanks for the help. |
