Thats great news!

I would gladly pull the trigger on headers to get better mileage on mine if I got to drive it more. I commute about 850 miles a week so I drive my wife's prius. Anyone make prius headers?

Wow. I'm almost speechless.

I wonder If I could make money selling headers for the electric motor...

water-cooled electric motor! ftw!

just so people know which headers i got:

doug thorley 555y-c (ceramic coated)

everyone else makes 4-1 type headers, while these are 4-2-1. i'll be matching the exhaust with some magnaflow stuff later on (2.25 all the way back)

i don't know yet, but in the general area of upper-hood/rear-view mirrors.

also, they draw less than an amp, combined! no relay needed

Interesting find Ian... I've been thinking about making a custom mount for a similar size light to attach to the bottom of the mirror mount.

How much do they weigh?

about a can of soda... under 5lbs for both lights, mounting hardware, and packaging.

as for the mounts, there is a fender mounting bolt close to the rear-view mirror. i'll be using that spot
