-Interesting about the singles vs doubles. I would think that having the ability to adjust compression and rebound would be great for street use especially. Maybe ill look at the singles again. If I sold my Bilstiens they really wouldn't be that much to upgrade. Iv'e also been eyeing the Ridetech HQ singles. I like that Million mile warranty and everyone raves about Ridetech.

-I intend to start doing Goodguys auto X and Car craft Summer Nats auto X so i will be doing a bit of competing with mine but nothing too hardcore. Just for fun but I still want to be able to put up some good times.

-I might even consider going to a Ram Air Resto 2.5" HO manifold... I hate these headers so much. They are just a MF'er

Dougs? Mine fit OK. I have had to shim up the motor mount on the passenger side to get the oil pan to clear the frame and keep the header from hitting the frame when I nail the throttle.

I may get creative with my headers if I have time. Im going to change from 3 bolt flange to a ball/socket before they go back in. My 3 bolt will not seal no matter what I do. I might try and fix the smashed parts of the header too as well as shorten them 2" each in droop. Not sure how id get that done though. I would of course do this knowing i may very well screw them up and have to order new stuff.

It seems like there is a huge market hole for someone to build really good fitting/easy to install pontiac headers. Every one on the market has a bad name for something.
