John, you would probably wake the motors up a little in mid range and definetly pick up hp, especially above 5000. But is it really worth the expense. Your exhaust isn't that old and I think your motors are on a 31 or 32 inch center which makes things a little tight. Didn't Ike look into doing some other exhaust and the Stainless was about the narrowest? If ya need more.....get blown!

Mcollinstn you are definetly correct there definetly isn't much room for a compressor in front of the exhaust log. Actually in this case, how many Apache's have you seen with a procharger? Warpaint would be no different....up thru the hatch baby!

Thanks for the ideas Bob. I was planning to plumb in a 45* elbow to kick the front water hookup out but will see what moving the alt. looks like. I suspect with my closed cooling it will be tough.

I'm runnning Corsa Captains Call on my Eickerts. Just give Corsa a call, and they'll sort you out. Bob's right, too - the dimensional data is on Eickerts web site.

Eickert makes a tee kit that you can fit to feed the water in between the first and second cylinders. Works neat.

Can't be, that would be too easy.... I'll check into it C-spray, thanks for the tip.
