Ohhhh, shiny,, I was looking at Melrose when I was shopping for headers, those and TPIS were the top "2" I was interested in...So how did I end up with "Hookers"???.. ..Those should add some shine under the hood.......WW

Maybe you just like Hookers? I think there are supports groups for that.

You're going to love the fit of those headers. I put Melrose on mine with the new engine this past winter and they are not only the best looking headers I have seen but the fit is second to none. I bought the entire system and it all fit where it is supposed to and it was just a matter of slipping it together and putting on the clamps. Great choice!

Aftermarket makes electronic cut outs, or you can have the exhaust come out before your rear tire wit a 3 bolt flange with a cover you can remove so you are running straight pipes, just unscrew 3 bolts on each side and this is before the muffler and you bypass the mufflers and gain HP for sure, just an idea, but I have seen it and heard it,AWESOME!!
