That's the same exhaust I recently bought from Ireland as well. I'm nit a huge fan of the massive rear muffler just before the tail pipes, so I am going to modify that last section and run a smaller more compact (lightweight Magnaflow) muffler and then fabricate the center piece where the cat resides. I spoke the owner of Ireland Engineering and he said that this exhaust will yield 15ish hp depending on if you run the cat or retain it.

here in the state of michigan we don't have emission inspections.
So, there won't be any of that emissions stuff between the engine and the tail pipe

Will you be putting the original type heat shield/gasket set with these headers? The plugs sit just above them and can cook the plug wires. My friend installed headers and used the gaskets without the shielding and can feel the intense heat rising.I've printed it in petg but i think i'm going to try abs instead.

well the exhaust is here now i just have to patiently wait for my guy to become available to weld it all up...

Not hi-jacking your thread Kinetic (I guess I should start my own thread and getting my car back on the road also).
Anyway when I spoke to the owner of Ireland Engineering he recommeded the Victor Reinz gaskets/heat shield as per my picture below (I also ceramic coated my headers to help), alternatively you can also buy spark plug wire "heat jackets" to protect them from cooking.

Hey guys yes i purchased the old style heat shields as I didn't want to risk cooking my plugs/plug wires from the heat. Hopefully some time next week my car will go into the shop to get all welded up.
I've accomplished a bunch of stuff this weekend will post some pics later today.

Kinetik - I dropped my stock exhaust tonight (just came in from a long evening), everything came out without any surprises or issues. Did you verify that the Ireland Engineering headers fit without any issues at the firewall based on the geometry of them? I'll mock mine up tomorrow but thought I should ask you.

Well, It's been sadly a year since I've made any updates to this post. Had some health issues with my noggin that required fixing before I could return to fixing my car. I'm a little more important. I had great momentum this time last year and. The car "ran" great but the suspension was just horrible. Even though I was down for the count I've been hording a collection of parts. And it's time to actually put them on.
Covid19 has given me some extra time so. I'm back at it.
Key issues to fix this spring.
Oil leaks.. So many of them
Entire Front & rear Suspension rework.
Cleaning.. getting rid of all the built up oil sludge.
New Pilot Sports AS3 + Old tires were from 2003 'yikes'.

Construted my own engine brace to drop the subframe to do the oilpan and any other seal I can get at.

Sub frame out oilpan next.
