I do too. I would like to know what the spacing difference was between the two headers. I just find it rather hard to believe that it was off by that much.

Only difference between the hookers and jethots was mainly the position of the collector O2 sensors.

now that I think of it...I think jethot's mounting plates are slightly thicker....I guess if the mounting plates are thicker it would make it sit closer to the heater box...but still you wouldnt think it would make that big of a difference

Man I thought you guys would be out a lot later. I should've stayed out awhile longer. I will have to remember two for ones though.

Mine are tight, I could see a minor difference causing a problem.

Here is a teaser video of it...

My PC was throwing a fit or the vid would have been much better. I have some other software that has better editing...

I'll have my camera with me most of the time to shoot some vids.

I spent 20-30 minutes tonight & put some pics together...I snapped most of these in the last 2 years or so. (I have several gigs of photos, but I am far from good at taking pics.)

We need to get some good photo ops & some vids & put together a compilation video for the Iowa crew.

If you have any pics or vids, send them to me, we'll get something cool before the end of summer. I have a shitload of music & can get more, suggestions are needed though.
