These are a replacement style header that attaches to the stock exhaust without modification. They have all neccesary fittings to retain the factory systems. FCMachine
thats whats the guy on Ebay said in the other message he said they will fit even thoe its for an Expy but if i dont need any modifaction that means there shortys I WANT SOME LONG TUBES!!!

I told her, I'm not fixing it - But I started it this morning before she went to school and it was running fine - No battery light this morning. - She wants to sell it and get a 4X4 - She likes the 86 models for some reason. Her and her friends go 4 wheeling all the time.. So much for that truck

They have a my space with vids that's pretty cool - funnier than hell..

I use to do that crap when I was younger as well -

Tell here it's not running right and take about 2 or 3 weeks to fix it.
Maybe she wont do that again for a while!!

I doubt that would work unless she's really stumped - She did a good job detailing my engine compartment for extra money last summer..Hell, I bet she's read Neals build 10 times already.

She's a freak

Without cats it's easy - My truck ran like sh^t without cats - probably something to do with back pressure. I put the HF's cats on her and she launched from the line again. But mannn, if you don't have a welder . I have a fitting that plugs into the tailpipe - so I could pressurize the system w/10-15 lbs of air and it always leaked - it doesn't now because it finally rusted together lol..

You can strip the heads pretty easy so be careful - I was carefull - still striped two holes - I had to drill them out and re-tap.
