I'd look for a header next, but I can't remember if the Caviler Z24 headers fit.

you have to cut and reweld the cavi header, but you can make it fit.

that may be a good idea. i don't think you want to go longer than a 30" primary, no bigger than 1 5/8" diameter, too, with a 2.5" collector. also, if you do this, you will have some problems with your o2 sensor. you may have to convert to a heated o2.
