Jimmy Notchback Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 So my buddy in Iowa is selling his notchback and traded me his exhaust which consists of bbk full length ceramic coated headers, dr. gas x-pipe, and flowmasters which I'll be getting rid of next week for a new set of borlas. I had basically the same exhaust minus the full lengths. It was my first full length install and went well excluding the annoying part of jacking up the motor and trying to get the bastards to slide in place. I got it done tonight and started the car up, it sounded amazing and I couldn't wait to go blow the tires off. I went to turn the wheel and it wouldn't move smoothly. My car is lowered and has steering rack offset bushings which is not leaving enough clearance for the steering shaft. Now I have to pull the driver's side and make a small hillbilly dent in the header for clearance....damn it all to hell. end rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 GELM told me that you're a pussy for not wanting to race. Maybe you should sell your stang and buy an 'ol Mercedes turbo diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Notchback Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Please.....maybe you haven't heard about my 84 yellow turbo diesel benz. Cordova dropped his motor into it and it makes 12000 ft/lbs homeboy. Gelm shit his pants when I started it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 damn headers... drop the steering shaft down some and it mounting point closest to the firewall, that might gain the extra room you need, but i cant tell, cause im not looking at it.. i hate beating on headers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
