I would be interseted, but I know that Z5 engine is weak as all hell, and I do not feel like blowing it up. I am not as skeptical about Stage 1, because it does not require a FMIC, but for further stages, I doubt FMIC will fit, and the engine will take all that pressure without a failure. I am glad that there is a test bed car, I just want to see what the results are. Thanks.
However, is the header available now? And what about the cat-back exhaust? Thanks.

Look at the ES kit for the Accent, thats only a 1.6 and it puts out pretty good numbers...
