I'm going to try tomorrow, getting a new gasket (I'm hoping the reason it's leaking is because I reused the intake/exhaust manifold gasket, even though I sprayed it with copper spray stuff... *crosses fingers*)

yea, sure, let's go with that lol, I just think of it because it's the 3 pipes going into their own collector... lol
OH! and great news, I've gotten most of the exhaust leaks fixed when I took the header basically back out, and changed the flange gasket, and welded up all the holes that the stupid exhaust shop left open in the pipes when they welded it up <_< So now it doesn't pop nearly as badly, and I can make it pop if I want to, or not make it pop if I don't want it to :P

Depends on the config of the collector.

You'd have had fun with my old 70 pu. It had the old deceleration control device setup on it and wasn't exactly right.(Obviously it was alright with me) With my exhaust dumping in front of the passenger rear wheel, wind it up tight and pull a hard shift it would dump enough air into the mix to sail about a 6' flame out the side, along with a pretty good pop too. At night it would light up a whole overpass.
Another fun little trick used to be shutting the ign off going down a hill. Just as you were going by the people waiting at the bus stop, turn it back on. They thought they'd been shot.

LOL I found this out the hard way today XD
And in other news, I got a Cressida AFM on my car today, total cost for about 34% more airflow (which is basically useless because I still have the stock throttle body
) was around $50, but I don't have an air filter on it yet, just a piece of mesh hoseclamped on the end of the AFM :P

I don't think that'll work, if they even have the flapper-door style AFM's like our cars, I think it'll be alot of rewiring, assuming it'll have the same resistance on the things... Unless you mean a throttlebody, then I doubt even that'll work... not to mention 90mm on a mostly stock ZX is way overkill, as 60mm is pretty much all our cars need for "any" performance to be had from it

Of course, all this stuff is still in the barn...

A 60mm throttle body dosent give you any performance gain at all, all it dose is give quicker throttle response. And for anyone that dose the larger TB set up please port the intake too, some people dont get that if you dont port it its still going threw a 50mm hole thus your TB dose nothing at all.

somewhat true, the intake itself is the choke point tho. for any real performance make a custom one (thats the diraction Iv taken) or port the **** out of the stock runners, runner diameter is a major bottle neck on the stock intake.
