I thought I was being helpful.I didn't tell you how to build an exhaust and I gave you the name of where I've had the last few systems done... in aluminized that averages 15+ years. Talk to Mitch at Tire Mart. I have also used Commercial Tire in Elkridge, MD and Damascus Tire in town of same name. Ben Woo does the mandrel stainless but I've never wasted my money on that. He's in Montgomery County, MD. I think in the airpark in Gaithersburg.

My truck with 350 has Hedman Torque Step full length headers into 2 1/4" pipes and is anything but choked out. It's just right, a very happy truck. Sounds like you're sold on the hype and that's your right. I use my truck and it does everything I ask it to do with style and ease. People debate the negligible gain from headers, which are mandrel bent and the same holds true for the rest of the exhaust. I'm not worried about 5 hp. It's not a race car

Thanks Dale
