Default DFW folks.

Looking to borrow some 5.3/6.0 manifolds for about 2 weeks to CNC cut some flanges for...If anyone has a set laying around they dont mind loaning out for a few weeks or just wants to get rid of let me know. I need to cut flanges to mate up to the head and some to connect mid pipes for the truck guys that want to run custom no catted exhaust off the stock manifolds. TIA. compensation could be arranged.

Billy is alright guy, just dont car for the stuff he sells.

Anser me this? Why did he take that STS setup off his car...

I barked at him on 20 heading towards the parks mall one evening and i noticed the stock catback was back on the car. This was at least a year ago though so he may have reinstalled it or something.

that LT1 was Dustins..... it was Dusty's daily driver.... he sold it to some chump in Mansfield who put Skulls and stuff on it... poor car. Billy sold his TA to help finance the business......

He has branched off into other things... hence the name change from Texas Rear Turbos to TRT Performance. I is doing alot of truck work lately. Still installs a few STS.... right now he is working on a custom Twin Front Mount setup on a road course car and just finished the only real STS car..... KLRWS6.......... the black one on the site.... and Mike you know that car runs good for a street car .all the others are Turbo only cars
