I'm happy with my Thorleys. You just have to keep paint on them because they are steel. VHT ceramic header paint works well for me.

hey, one thing on the doug thorey's is it replaces that sorry y pipe . the cross over is up under the bell housing like it should be. the trans filter will be easy to change now .sure can fell more power , will be towing about 18-20 k tomorrow so should see a diff. . like the 5 star tooo. thanks mike, barry
