The tubing would expand and contract so often that I think it would affect the performance and also fail eventually. I could be wrong. All the forced induction cats I have ever had we always wanted hard pipes.

Here is a link that talks about the hose I am using as suitable.

Hi doc.
have a look here.
with all the angles options you have on the aluminum tubes and silicons, you might be able to fab something yourself.
just a thought.

Doc. Your headers just got to me. Hopefully mine get to you asap also. They are in great condition and for cheap ebay headers these things aren't half bad. I know mine will fit your car with the charger but I feel bad that mine have quite a few more marks on them than yours. I hope they work well for you though.

Hi,

As I shared with you in my email, I am so appreciative of you swapping headers with me, especially when there was no need on your part. Goes to show you what a great group of people are on this forum. Thanks again. Excited to get this project completed. Next time your in San Diego, beers on me!

Sorry, its been a while. Here's the latest status.

I got the SC installed, but was not happy with how one of the AC lines interfered with the SC. So I removed the AC line and took it to a shop to have them modify it for me. Should have it back this week.

Once I get it, should be pretty quick to get the rest of the SC installed.

Then its just a matter to tune the air-fuel ratios. May need to do the timing as well. I have a piggy back computer for timing. If I need to install it, I will.

Promise to get more pics up soon too.

Thanks for your patience ;-)
