   The Pacesetter header needs some work to get it to fit.  Mostly grinding
   of the mating flange where the exhaust and intake manifold meets.

   It should cost around $130-$175 depending where you buy it.  I remember
   seeing these headers in the JC Whitney catalouge and they even had ceramic
   coated Pacesetter headers for the Spit at around $200.

    I have a jar that I keep spare $1 and $2 coins (I'm in Canada) in.  I use
    this jar to save money to buy parts and for major repairs that I cannot
    do myself.
