Not Cool!!!

Went to the exhaust shop yeterday, and they say(you gonna need two new manifolds, and few studs) passenger side mani has 2 broken studs at the back, and trying to break more. Around 800 if they cant plane the one out, so i am thinking around 1k if they cant, so me being me said hahaha later, ill think ill doit myself or have someone else do it that i know that runs a HI-PO stang shop

Really 800 bucks for planing a mani, a new manifold, new studs, and labor or was that a good deal either way i told the mechanic to keep eatin in the lobby

Got under her and looked when i got home and sure enough i said theres your problem

I put a set of Gibson s/s headers on my 97 because i already had the s/s Super-truck exhaust system on for years.The headers are nice because they come with new gaskets and s/s bolts to replace all the studs.
