I have been thinking of doing the same thing to my Satellite. Going
under
the front bumper with a scoop back to the eng compartment. Got a buddy
thats
a sheet metal man and we have talked about it. I need to surf out these
sites u mentioned or do u have more info. That is one reson I have
stayed
away from headers. More heat.
By the way, please don't rag me to hard but I had a 65 Mustang, a sweet
matching number car, and it had some cheap headers on it when i got it.
Went
back to stock manifolds and it solved my temp problems.
