I have noticed the N/A motors usually have a shorty header, or a 2 piece manifold. I have a full length factory header that has the Saab logos and part numbers on them. they y in together down towards the bottom of my oil pan. Does anyone else have a similar setup?

Te -94 cars the early ones had the longer two piece manifold. In the US all others had the shorter ones.

Make it a little longer and you can use the midrange since its not so easy to get more top end out of this motor without some boost.

isnt it essential to have all the leads out of the engine exactly the same length to insure there is little to no back pressure? This is cool though. sweet project.

I don't think it is a waste. It may have some other purpose.

I think almost everything has been done before. Everything that is cost effective at least.

Plus I don't think there are any non turbo owners who only come to this subforum...judging by the, uh, lack of anyone posting anything more than once every few months.
