Thread: New Ram Exhaust

Tweet

Streets, good to hear from you. Well the truth is I am just a buyer/assembler and not too good at that, but my first major challenge just arrived yesterday in the form of a stainless steel brake line kit and I will have my hands full for a while with bending the small diameter brake lines. Before I would try bending my own 1 5/8" tubing I would go to lake pipes but then that could be a major welding project for me so I am just looking to buy something that fits and won't leak. The interesting thing is that I started with only a few tools and every new job brings with it some new tools, but I do not have a come-along yet; maybe the closest I will get to bending my own is trying to make some top ribs later on. I just acquired a bargain set of Dremel tools because I got the Power brake bracket welded where I thought it should be and then found the master cylinder would not clear the crosmember on the Brookville frame. "Pete" at Brookville said, Oh Yeah, you need to notch the crosmember and box it in to make clearance for the M.C. sooo now I have a nice set of Dremel tools which I used to carefully slice off the misplaced bracket and I can also artfully cut out the notch with the Dremel saw. Another Power brake bracket was only $12 from TCI. So you can tell I am having a fair amount of difficulty just doing the standard stuff and sand bending is beyond my talent. Anyhow, I guess you were right about the Sanderson headers, so let's see what Dave says!
I just stand back when you guys get into it because I was a Ford guy for a long time but that darn long water pump on the SBF and the short stroke converted me to a hybrid Chevy-in-a-Ford-body guy.
