Exhaust (rats nest removal) o n an 85 Rex
If I remove the rats nest, do I have to get headers to replace? I have a limited budget, and I have a guy who will do exhaust work for a great price.
As well, would he then weld a pipe to the exhaust manifold, and run the pipe(s) back and then add a muffler on the end of this new exhaust system?
Would there be any need for a tune up after removing the rats nest, or would that not change much?
Please advise, as I am hoping to do this today.
Thank ya,
Joe in KC

The RD header is not that pricey for the amount of research they've done to make it flow so nicely - frees up a lot of power in your engine, especially if other restrictions (stock cats & muffler) are eliminated as well.

rd? Racing beats header is the best. Put it on and run full exhaust wiith a descent muffler it will be a little loud but not at all that bad. But do not run the header into a glass pack that will get you tickets and cause a loss of hearing.

The full exhaust from RB are great, and I must say noise isn't that bad. I have a streetport model (12A) under my car, and it sound rather normal at idle or cruising. Only when you floor the gas, you get a very impressive deep sound, that's really adictive :-)

but didn't I read that you get dizzy after a while if you do not have a thermal reactor or cats? because if he street drives it and passes out at a red light it's not good... lol

If you have a leak in your system, or a defective O2 sensor, perhaps.
I have the header, presilencer, and power pulse muffler setup and have no such carbon monoxide issues.
