Small speed bump, but I get to keep the headers!
Hey Jon, I'm confused (as Usual), these headers you have from Tom ,are they not cast material? How do they shorten them? Do they have 2 different castings or do they just wack off 3" and and re- weld the collector back on? Seems kind of odd to me. Wouldn't a set of Clifford shorty headers work in your situation? Like these
