Question 01 Scab Header Install question...

hey guys i was under my truck doing some with the other day and noticed my exhaust manifolds are in some pretty bad shape..Saying they're rusty would appear to be an understatement..So its decision time..1-replace manifold OR go with headers and MOST importantly 2-how much do you guys think this will cost me.??.im guessing this may be a pretty starting place for an exhaust leak i think i have..

Depends do you want shorty's or long tubes?


shortys are relatively cheap, but labor intensive as with long tubes.

long tubes are on the more expensive side again with intensive labor.

are you gonna have a shop do it or are you doing them yourself?

Come on down! See ol' Lynn at Mighty Muffler and he'll fix ya right up.

In case anyone in the Knoxville area is interested, they are great folks, do great work, and have better than reasonable prices.
