Sounds promising. Do you have to use "turn-outs"?

Lake_Header_Kit_Correct_Louvers_-_Copy-418x308.jpgThese weld up baffles are what you need for the lake type headers. Some measuring and welding needed, possibly some wool added depending on your sound level needs.....you can put a plug in the main outlet, or a restrictor, or run em open holed with the baffles to take some of the nasty out of em...they are out of Minneapolis.....Gear Drive Speed and Custom

First of all, your Gear Drive Speed & Custom is buying that kit from Ken Mulinix at Car Chemistry in Waxahachie, TX. If you use Ken's unit I would highly recommend that you anchor at least two, and preferably three places around the perimeter of the large baffle. Anything less will result in the large baffle plate deforming outward from the mount point due to the heat and exhaust pressure pressing outward (wanna see pictures??), which will leak and rattle. The rings are stamped from nominal 18ga metal (calipers ~0.05"), which is pretty thin. Might as well buy them from the source if they are what you want.

Second, not a big deal, but this was a thread from 2005 that then got updated in 2010 to show a home built alternate. Nothing wrong with resurrecting old threads, just sayin' it's not a new discussion.
