Thanks for the tip, will do. I am trying now to figure if I need to ahve the O2 sensor outlet welded in place or not prior to my assembling the unit and installing it this weekend and if I do, which tube is best for performance.

I have the threaded peice supplied by Summit Racing which is where I got the headers and side pipes from.
I'd try to put it right in the collector after the tubes come together.

So, got the headers all bolted on, the bolts for the side pipes are a pain...is there a trick? I’m getting ready to weld them in...

Stay calm.......just a warning. The Mods usually lock or close down a 10 year old thread reply.
