Default Time to get busy!

My doorbell just rang about a half hour ago and much to my surprise, I found a big brown box from one of the very merry elves in brown sitting on my doorstep! The set of American Racing Headers (1-3/4", high-flow cats, 3" x 2" x-pipe) that I won in the raffle drawing the day after Thanksgiving (thanks again to Vette Doctor's and American Racing Headers for the raffle!) were inside!

After pulling all the parts out of the box and getting a good look at them - I'm very impressed with the quality of the work that went into making these headers! My hat is off to American Racing Headers - great job guys!!

It's amazing, I've been feeling a little under the weather since late last week (nothing serious, just some persistent head and chest congestion from a mild touch of the flu that I got from my wife while taking care of her last week), and just seeing the contents of the box has made me feel much better!!!

Now I just need to get through this next week of family, friends, everything else that goes with Christmas so I can put these bad boys on the car!!! Woohoo!!!!!

With any luck, some patience, and a new set of tires (my 22K+ Michelin ZPs are not going to last much longer after this) - I might finally be able to get this daily driver down in the 12s.....
