What are headers going for on Ebay? It would probably be a hell of alot cheaper.

I like being able to say I made it.

Btw. Did you have to get the lawn mower belt for thr nest removal?

I found a belt from gatorback that fit perfect over all three pulleys.

Well I got my pipe today. but after I got to looking at it I think Im just going to put a short pipe on it and throw the cherry bomb on it until I can get a 2 1/2in set up with a header. Right now Im just running 2in straight pipe to the back.

Has anyone ever done this before? I was wondering about the heat factors. I could send a pipe to the passenger side but I would rather just do a down pipe off the muff.

The only place that I could get the brass I needed for the comp gauge was closed today so I have to do that tomorrow.

I worked on exhaust all day today. Im gonna have to go with 18in to the cherry bomb and then either a down or to the pass. side. If I can get the angle for a closure pipe Ill just hook up the old exhaust but Im not sure I can.

RAIN!!!! Man I hate when it Rains. I wish I had a Giant Shop.

I wanna work on my car!!!!!!!!

If it wasnt lightning Id just be getting wet. If I could get the muffler off I could goahead and put the short pipe on it and get it ready to go on the car.
