    Well I was poking around on the web and came across this website: http://www.mpgheads.com/expbrac.htm I looked at their products and thought it looked really good. Anyone here used them?

    Another pic

    Just another pic of it on a car. If anyone has them installed, a pic would be great.

    From what the guy on the phone said, they will work on mavs, just need a little shortening.

    i've got them on my car. they work great and look good. yes, you do have to cut approx. 3/4 inch from each end of the tubes. don't cut too much off. the right hand threads are tapped all the way through. but you'll have to buy a left hand thread tap (3/8-24nf) and tap that end all the way through. i also removed the locking nuts as the tubes do tighten without them. the pieces on the shock towers fit fine. as for the bracket on the firewall, two bolt holes line up and two have to be drilled through and you have to bend the lip on the firewall down a little. they definitely clean up the engine compartment and make removal of the valve covers a lot easier.:)
