    So last week I put back on my OEM headers after having a leak on my Gibsons as most know. Starter went out as I was reinstalling. :Grenade:

    Finally got it in on Saturday and installed Sunday morning w/ a few fuses and VRRROOOOOOMMMM!!
    :peace::big_banana_Dance::peace:

    I swear she runs so much better w/out that leak (obviously) but I can tell not only in sound & performance, but also my MPG. I prolly picked up .5-.75 mi and can only assume it was from the back pressure caused at the head. In any case, damn it feels nice to be back in my rig... I am not even sure I'm gonna be trading her in now. Gotta get all this hard work I just put in her, back from her ya know. :waytogo:

    Had a crack at the base of the collector that was prolly a few weeks away from crackin completely off. Here is the link w/ some pics of me fixin it after I bought a welder. I'll prolly continue fixing this one, and then just sell them and get some coin back :waytogo:
