RB Header Installed!!

So I finaly got off my butt and installed my RB Road/Race Header this weekend.

Right now the car is running Header ONLY. It is quite loud. The balance of the exhaust will be fabed and installed overt the winter months.

I took the car for a test drive down some baack roads and man what a difference!!

To any one contemplating this my addvise is do it.

The whole personality of the car has changed.

I knew the reults were going to be good, but I had no idea they would this good.

Straight Header is not really all that loud. But port the engine some and it will start getting loud.

the race car alwasy felt faster with free flowing exhaust rather than straight pipe. you might be in for a suprise. butt dyno could be tricked by mind saying "louder = faster" so the butt dyno expects more... i dunno.

Ya the good ol' butt dyno is about all I got these days...

As for the balance of the exhaust I will just run 2.25" Tube into a SS packed straight through muffle of some sort.

I'll sort it all out when the cash flow for car parts increases.

Becides the car is parked for Winter here in the land of the Ice, Snow and Road Salt...

So I got a while to figure out what I am gonna do.

As for the Loud, it was loud enough...
