I'm upset that your lincoln had headers before we did.

I dunno. I think the front will be the most difficult with those lines in the way though.

I would imagine he will be wrapping up the group by soon, I wonder if he will set a date or just say done now that they are shipping.

If anyone calls you should ask! I tried calling and the 'system' said no one was available and hung up. No voicemail?

Hey since I'm using my Hogan downpipe for the headers, do you think I can use the flex pipe to be welded on the collector?

Ok guys, keep an eye on your account because DT took money out twice on my acct. One was on March 17th for the sum of 642.00 and I just now checked and they took out another 100.00 and then another 538.00. This IS total BS... It's not like I just have 600.00 laying around, I had to save to begin with to get these. I better not get stuck with 2 sets of headers. I am so pi$$ed!!!
