Oh where to start. Well, my whole exhaust system is completely custom from the engine back. I have a set of Heddman headers 1 3/4 tubes into a to what looks like a 3inch collector, but it's bent down and inwards a bit to let the pipe go in. Now from there it leads to the side, almost like a Viper would, than to a pair of Cats. After the cats it ends on a set of resonators. Now, everything is welded in except for the brackets on the resonators. To install my headers again, I was trying to manouver them around, but seeing in how it's all welded, I didn't get very far, even with disconnecting the resonator from the car. I am getting very discouraged with this. I have some bolts in but not all, and the ones that are not all the way in, won't go in any further because it rubs on the header pipe. Can anyone help me out here? It's basically all I have to do to get the car on the road again. I'm thinking that I might as well go to a garage and ask them to do it and let them go through the hassle, what do y'all say? Thanks in Advance!

Here is what I say, throw that junk away and purchase a set of Doug's Headers. They will bolt on, fit is good, finish is fantastic, performance is great. Do yourself a favor and do this.

www.dougsheaders.com

To get the best price and delivery call Ken Brewer at PPR 310-832-4596.
