Well I ordered it January and it finally arrived, SS headers and full sports
large bore exhaust, 2 1/4" diameter pipes, with a single silencer for my '71
TR6. First, let me say how well made it is with a beautiful finish and the
silencer and tailpipe polished to a high luster. Second the fit, I had
expected problems, have heard that headers could be a bear to install and I
had never tried this before. Suprize, everything fit, not bending, no
pounding, no cussing. Third the performance, well I have a stock engine,
the only other thing I've done is replace the stock air cleaner and housing
with a large K&N setup and replace the fan with an electric one, so I wasn't
expecting any great difference. However, there is a difference, redline
definitely comes quicker. There does seem to be a slight "miss" (guess
thats the right term) under hard acceleration that I didn't notice before,
any ideas? Last the sound, and how sweet it is. It is louder than stock
but not LOUD like some I've heard (yes I can still hear the radio).
Actually it sounds a lot like a stock system thats been pumping weights and
popping steroids for several months.
