About a month ago I was whining about a header leak ("exhaust leak from hell"). Well I bought Earl's gaskets, Stage 8's and 2 extra sets of gaskets because I am in Italy and it takes 2 weeks for anything to get here. Blah, blah, finally I get a chance to take them off and take them to a machine shop and guess what....the F***ing thing is cracked near a weld. Fantastic. Now I get to deal with McCarville Ford and MAC. McCarville "will let me know" when "they hear from MAC". Pretty standard. I won't hold my breath. bye-bye $140. The moral of the story...you get what you pay for.Total costs:headers $140 s+h, earl's gaskets and stage 8's (which by the way work quite nicely)~$67.00, 2 extra sets of gaskets ~$40.00, endless hours of frustration-priceless.

86 GT T-tops, AOD, B&M shift kit and hammer shifter, ROH wheels, K&N, Timing,MAC headers, 2.5 off road H, 2.5 American Thunder, 87 spindles, rear disc,SS lines, BBK 1.5, poly bushings, Steeda G-trac and subs, Strut bar.
