Gen1 Stock silvertop header vs Cusco header(pics)

I picked up a cusco 20V header a few weeks and today I went out and took the stock header out and test fitted the cusco. The cusco will fit but I first have to relocate the starter to the intake side and reroute the coolant. I will also obviously have to redo my exhaust setup after the header. I haven't decided if I will get rid of my HKS exhaust or keep it and just make a new mid pipe. Anyways here are a couple of pictures of the difference.

It actually wont be that much work at all just more work then just bolting the thing on and it was things I was going to do anyways. Especially the coolant rouiting because the guy I bought the car from did the 20V swap and he didn't do it that well(things laying all over the place and bolts missing). As for Arkansas I don't live there anymore. I just moved a month ago. I got hired on by the SCCA(Sports Car Club of America) and so my family and I moved up to Topeka, KS. I guess I need to change my profile still.

to relocate the starter to the intake side you need to pull the trans..... unless the PO left out the shield between the engine and trans.... (also, you need to have a c52 trans).

there are also other aftermarket headers out there.... no idea what brand it was, but a 20V a friend of mine picked up had a 4/2 section of a 4/2/1 header (and the 4/2 to the 2/1 unbolted... so it was almost useless to us)
