The Engine Cover Makeover!

So Scott from MRT has been showing me all sorts of very cool things they've been doing since they since they started "dipping" things in their new hydrographics tank!  Hydrographics or water transfer printing is a method where by all different types of designs and patterns can be printed on to metal, plastic, glass, hard woods, and various other materials, by basically floating the ink on top of a tank of water.  That's the very simplistic view of it.  To me it reminds me of the OLD FASHIONED way of making Easter Eggs where the dye floated on top of the water and you swirled and dipped the eggs.

Adding JBA Shorty Headers

So with the addition of the MRT Ver. 2.0 Axle Back exhaust system, Ivy had developed a really nice exhaust note and I was very happy with it.  Then I came across a discussion that suggested that perhaps the stock exhaust manifolds on the V6 Camaro were perhaps not the most optimal.  I then found that JBA had developed a set of shorty headers for the V6 Camaro.  The important thing about these shorty headers to me was they retained the stock catalytic converters.  As it turns out MRT carries JBA products so I got on the phone with Kim from MRT and she got the ball rolling!
