ok the simple version: parts: you need another ignitior and coil and some wire. remove stock leading ignitor, it has a 2 pin connector to the pickup in the dizzy. wire it so that the ignitor you just took off and your extra one both get that same signal. wire one coil to each ignnitor, each coil to each leading plug. boom done

I know people who have it on thier cars and say it is night and day difference.I want to hook mine up so I can get rid of the loud *** cannon blast everytime I shut the car off when its warm.Having no cats has disadvantages like that but when you upgrade to direct fire all those problems get fixed.
That's a problem?

Not normally. Can't drive the beast at night right now.I had to blast off the highway at 110 km/h last time because my radar dectector went off and the cop whipped a U-turn.He must of saw the flame when I let off. :smirk: Damn cops. :rant:

So what your saying is if you just go to a wrecker and buy another harness and run the power off the ignition to it then run your plug wires to your leading plugs you should be set?

I looked at my harness when I was measuring my oil output

and didn't see anything that looked like an ignitor.

It went from the distributer to a large harness and from the coils

to the harness....???

where is the ignitor located??
