Sounds yummy!
I've got the extractors (Lou can tell the difference between 1 3/8ths sets
and the older 1 1/2's by ear, now) and I can tell you they're absolutely
fantastic. Woke the whole car up. But the internal stuff is a way down the
track for me - even the exhaust work was a necessity (the original manifold
had finally died, so what do you do? :) )
I've got to go and see him, soon, so I'll check yours out, definitely!
Cheers,
Steve
