Oh well. I was younger and dumber.
It looked cool.
Underhood temperatures kept down.
Exhaust tones were almost like a Cadillac's.

And no one told me it caused corrosion. At least I thought I'd get a bye from the arid climate of Southern Arizona. [I have a set of Clifford headers on my 292 L6 that I have been running since 1978.] Also I thought shooting the insides would make it more corrosion proof.

We live and learn...
