yeah i think murrys sells some like that. i got school today so ill be starting at about 3ish im not going to work..its pretty crappy out is your dad going to make you work? if your not shoot me an Email and ill give you my number and ill give u directions. They expanded the Turn-downs for free to fit over the muffler. but the cut-outs he didnt want to because the Weld for the cut-out pipe is so close to the inlet of the cut-out so i got a 3"ID 3"ID apadater to slide over my header and slide over the cut-out...one of my nice clamps covers the whole adapter. i donno if im going to clamp it or have someone weld it up...still worryed about that driver side angle but i know it'll fit!! So yeah JR shoot me and Email telling me whats going on.

so i started install at about 3:30-3:45 and as of now 12:31 AM i have both shorties off Driver side is in place with 4 bolts holding it. Passenger side header wouldnt slide up into place but i cleaned out the threads really good with WD40 and then ran a new bolt threw each one of them. im going to try a few things to get that passenger side header up there... Took a few videos of my truck with shorties and the super-turbos for the last time ill post that then ill post it with the dyno max 3" bullets and you guys can tell me witch one sounds better as for now im really tired that passenger had some crazy bolts to try and get to im going to go to bed and get up around 7-8ish and start working again ill keep you guys up dated. Sorry no pics or a Step by step how too...everyone that has been over my house has been working on my truck! so i might have some final install pics but that might be it.

ok things to do today...figure out how to tighten one bolt on the driver side....get the EGR bushing clamp the mufflers onto the turn downs...reinstall everything turn the key and pray for no leaks!! then do the cureing of the headers...on for 10 off for 20 on for 20 off for 20...30 mins normal operating temp then my VHT header paint will be cured onto the headers then in the spring or the next 40 degree day we have in michigan i gotta touch up some of the spots i scratched the paint putting the headers on...its 4degrees adn about 25-40MPH winds so that makes it prob about -10 wind chill a lil too cold to paint steel..... but ill take some pics of the final install and maybe some videos of the sound
