Corey;
Looks like it's time for a trip to Ye Olde Muffler Shoppe for a bit of
tweaking of the pipes. Boy, suddenly Rimmer's been getting quite a bit of
"reputation scuffing!" Sounds like they've worked hard for it.
But with all the header problems folks have had, does anyone have a suitable
stainless alternative? I mean aside from Falcon, does anyone make a stainless
system for 6's with which listers have had good success?
