Re: 9 month old header blown !
Ok got me and my son to three hand it and won . Now it's been double check for loose not hooked up things and besides the header not hooked up to the tail pipe yet. Need weld the brackets thing tomorrow and I'll know then how this will sound and feel . Now double check on tools out and fire it up ... Hahaha hope I don't blow up. ..Hey,, did you ever buy that fire extinguisher ?
