why do i feel like the headers on backwards

because you are a smart man lol

putting them on backwards so i car run the exhaust forward and out the side, it wont clear the steering rack unless you buy headers that cost like $900

you know for some reason i thought that but didnt wanna sound dumb lol that thing is going to be insane loud lol

there will be a good 3 or 4 feet of exhaust piping with mufflers on each side so it shouldnt be too bad

mocking up exhuast, doing what little i can until i get a trans










yes its gonna have dual DC sports mufflers lol, whatever it takes to quiet it down right lol

fuel gauge installed, yeah major update lol

The Rapist as in it will rape your ears and make them bleed with that short exhaust.

hopefully it shouldnt be too loud, brad had silencers on open headers and it wasnt to bad
and these muffler quieted my honda down like 60% from no exhaust

I thought brad just had open headers? He had just open headers after I installed all his stuff on his car, worst part is it wasn't as loud as my TA thru a Y-pipe and out of the cutout lol.
