the Tomei headers are also 2.25 in/out so you would be good to go with them

Please let me know... since I'm buying other parts from you anyways.

If the Tomei headers and Tomei TPs can find harmony with my Bassani exhaust then I'm sold.

No, thanks bro.

I am, however, interested in NISMO stickers if you so happen to have any.

I want to place one across my stock strut bar.

Hey gabe am also considering going the NA route just for reliability purposes since this is my daily driver. I have a question, how much did you get the cams for ??? and are these better to get than the JWT c2 cams? the one you have are the 264's?

^don't worry you are not butting in at all. Sometimes it is better so that others can get faster response.

Cams are fairly cheap at around 1k but you have to add install and tune on top of that, another 1k.

Not exactly sure if they are better then the jwt. I chose them solely from the fact that the mfg gave me better info.

Yes I have the 264 on both the exhaust and intake side.

Hey Gabe, do you still have rasp?

If so, was it worse prior to the cam and header install? Or is it worse post install?

Really interested to know!

I've never had to much rasp before or after the cam installation. However I had some droning with the MD exhaust and that was reduced after I got the cams installed.
