I'm very impressed with TTIs headers and exhaust sys.
These pipes went in in less than an hour. Now I still want to make a few adjustments
But that's because I'm anal like that. My adjustmants really arnt necessary.

That's as far as I got. Hammerd out patch. Next I'll trim the hole and patch.
TIG weld it in. Sand blast the frame and paint it.
Tomorrow is an other day.

That'll be a WILD color combination! - Ought to look like a Pro-stock theme. - Can't wait to see it! - Nice work on the dash corner.
