Mid Pipes are here.... not sure why but the headers and now Midpipes have clamp marks on them. Does not seem like that would be normal..... but I don't care.
Took the family to dinner today..... she ran great! Hooks great in 3rd gear with 32psi...... 1st and 2nd are still a bit useless at that tire pressure on the street. lol It is the Kids fault officer! Peer Pressure is REAL! ahahha  I need to find a solid back to back weekends to get this rear in, so then I can test my new headers too! Getting them from coating tomorrow... more pictures to come!

Stepped Headers have Jet Hot, but I didn't want to fork over the $400+ for that again.... so I went with a local applicator of Cerakote.
It is rated to 2,000 degrees since it is a satin type color finish. The shiny stuff is shiny because it has some aluminum in it, and that can break down at around 1300 degrees (so I read) figured for what I am doing, satin silver is pretty enough. https://www.cerakotehightemp.com/fin...lacier-silver/ $250 out the door. Will see how it does. Oh and any applicator sandblasts, they can easily apply to used headers. Not sure the NET gain is Outrageous, but at the level of build you have.... I would peer pressure you towards it for sure.

Ok so I started back into Quic since it had been so hot.... of course, the next 2 days after getting her on the stands it has been 75 and 65....
I pulled the plugs first, they were all identical and IMO look very good! I attached a picture of 1 from each bank. Exhaust, Headers and Driveshaft all removed now. I have to be honest, this removal really has me questioning the Stock Catback, its is so damn big....but I am not really seeing that a full stainless catback with a resonator is any lighter...and they dont make a resonated 3inch system to my knowledge. I will stay as I am and I still really like the "HOT" button provided from the NOWEEDS  ... it gets annoying fast...so I just push the Cold button haha......

Catching up on a few things to comply with the slackers
 I mounted up the One Piece driveshaft, the Mrs. just did not like it... it wasn't really that loud....but you could certainly feel it. It was within spec when measured etc... you can see it in the for sale thread in the Drive-line section. I wanted to give a shout out to my buddy and college roommate Logan for helping button this up. It was a strange but welcome change to have help in the garage!! So I decided to go with the HD Driveline upgrade driveshaft, it is a special part order but my local dealer got it for me in 3 days for $240 off list price, still pricey, but it is a nice quiet ride. Also upgraded my trans flange to accommodate the larger bolts. Went in just like stock. I pulled the trans flange off by hand, no hammer or puller needed. I also went ahead and got the driveshaft safety loop from Metco, paid extra for the extension I don't need now.... plus it hit the factory resonator when extended. I also had to notch off some of the plate that a Manual car would use to mount because the diverter's actuators would not clear and it made the exhaust hang too low.
