In the midst of fabbing up the supercharger setup, and finishing the five speed swap, i've been doing some other things as well. Out goes the CF cowl hood and S&S headers, In comes the bubble hood and Doug Thorley custom headers!

NICE. I see the differences in the headers....yours obviously will flow better right? for the kind of set up you have.....how much did they run you if you dont mind me asking? I already have S&S headers but im curious as to how much the custom set cost.

Sorry i haven't got a hold of you with the address for the hood.... i just got a job at a detailing shop....some family friends are starting it so im gonna get the address of the shop and have it shipped there. I will get it tomorrow and PM you. Cant wait to get that hood on my car!!! :)

There were only two sets produced for the aztek pace cars, the manifolds will fit for sure, test fitting will tell me if the down pipe and crossover pipe need to be modified. theoretically they should flow better, who knows though, but they do have a 2.5 crossover like the new MMS headers, and when they collect down before the cat it jumps to 3" so they should work for me well.

Just let me know about the address and its ready to go!

that new hood makes the cowl look terrible IMO..

do you plan on selling the S&S headers too?

Appearance wise, I like the 1st hood better.

Looks nice. I personally like the first, but it's not my car. How was the fitment on your new one?
