I am wondering, with aftermarket exhaust manifolds such as the Megan Racing Header, should I still run with the hood grill on? I have the Ralliart Hood Grill and am getting the header this week. I really dont want to mess up the hood grill by burning it with the heat or anything like that. I also have the Buschur Intake kit and live in Ohio. So let me know, would you leave the grill in, will it be ok with the set-up? Or would I be better off with it not on the car allowing the heat to just go straight out the vent?

Thanks

 

that header isn't even worth putting on first off

a ported and coated stocker is your best bet


aside from that I doubt the vent will touch and it isn't going to prevent head from getting out

 

ok thanks, I had just heard a couple people say that you shouldnt run aftermarket manifolds with the hood vent.

 

I haven't heard any good things about the Megan manifold.
