Default I hate headers!!!



<IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">I cant stand the damn leaky things if it isnt leaking at the hean the collectors are leaking. I removed the mufflers and put glasspacks on but i still hear the tick tick of exhaust leaks. Does anyone know where I can get some hipo FE ex manifolds for the fullsize car heads? 289 manifolds are reasonable and will get them if I keep the 289. Unfortunately headers seem to be the only option for the FE, as the stock manifolds flow so poorly and supposedly dont fit because the upper bolts hit the shock towers.</P>
