He told me approx. $235 for the pair of headers inside and out.



Like I said about gouging earlier.... Up here in Canada its absolutely LUDICROUS what is going on!

Do your mufflers clear your driveshaft?

I am having a hard time getting my headers re-coated since every place that used to do it is out of business around here  :'(

o man! i didnt know you were in CT, i can second that, the guy my brother sent his to went out of business, he had a 3 year warentee on them as well and the gy just didnt show back up to the shop, called the cops to get his headers back, im pretty sure this guy was in rockyhill

I don't really like much about where I'm stationed at other than their complete lack of respect for the environment. The only ordinances they have down here are noise ordinances, which means you have to have mufflers at least, but no cats. However the federal law is that any vehicle made with a cat has to have one, and if you go to another state, they probably require them. I know that Cali checks as you cross the boarder into the state.

Looks good though pugsy, can't wait for the dyno results!!

Thanks. I should be getting everything together this weekend for a test drive.

I found a pinch in my return line.Its 1/2" long and squished completely. I guess this could cause it to run rich?

It was a line that I had on there before that I was using for the vent. I guess I never noticed the kink in it when I first built my truck.I hooked it up for the return line as it was 5/16" and I ran a new 1/4" line for the vent. I noticed it when I was crawling around under there doing up the duallies.

So I guess this could account for some poor milage, eh?

Thanks Dan.

Got her goin and she's burnin the tires pretty good.  ;D Actually burning 1 tire. Looks like I need posi now. ;)

Got to cruise around today as there's no salt on the roads. It rained all week here and washed it away. Hopefully it stays good for a couple more days so I can get the dyno done.

It really feels like an improvement. I can burn the tire going from a straight start now. It would only burn it on a turning start before.
