Re: Headers/exhaust

Post by wytbishop »

I bought EBAY headers for my ZE install and they work great but they did not fit out of the box at all. they bolted up to the heads fine but the rear collector did not match up to the Y-Pipe by about 1-1/2". The y-pipe had to be cut, bent and rewelded and the whole thing had to be reshaped to clear the oilpan and crossmember. Which is why my exhaust system wound up costing me over $500. But it's tight as a drum and sounds awesome so I'm ok with it.


A credit card is a good way to build a credit rating for later when you want to buy cars and houses and things, but don't think of it as extra money. It isn't. Every time you buy something with it you are taking out a high interest loan from your bank.

Lol I got visa debit. It's a credit card but deducts from your actual savings. You can go into the minus numbers, but it acts exactly the same as a credit card. Best way to do things imo.
