Default Melrose exhuast system on its way.....

I did it, I called Melrose up, and ordered some LT headers and the rest of the system down to the mufflers.

So far it has been really easy and FAST to deal with Melrose. Ordered last thursday, 28 Jan, and Chris got it all boxed up to leave today towards Denmark...

Here is what I will be doing:

LT headers, coated
Extension tubes
X pipe
Connections pipes to my CORSA mufflers


Please feel free to flash your Melrose headers and systems untill then

Seems like I got excited a little early...

Melrose have now decided that they will not do CC payment overseas, and bumped the shipping with 40%.

That kind of "surprise" would sure leave a bitter taste for me.....if they had told you up front about increased cost and payment methods, thats one thing....but to tell you after the fact ? Not my style.

later, tiny

GREAT I put a hole system on our 87' vert and Chris and his dad where GREAT to work with when we had a fitment issue (not theirs but some of the Random tech pipes). I put the headers on with the jet hot coating in /out, no cats, no EGR and no AIR and 3" all the way out the back with no mufflers. Man does it sound GREAT yea a little loud but NICE. I did go back and put a little bit of a baffle in the rear muffler eliminators and that dropped the noise at idle but when you punch it it all lets loose. The headers where real easy on the install and fit great.

Good Luck wro87
