I believe SS thickened the steel they use for their manifolds. I know they added braces when before they had none...

btw, do you usually modify your car by trial and error principals? do youself a favor and do some RESEARCH.


first off,,, dude i posted my thread just like everyone else here do, to get info or any necesary feedback. had a couple of good ones until your dummass has to come try teachin me a lesson. damm i graduated college nearly 3 yrs ago i didnt know that a tech forum will continue my education.
point is man, dont be a asshole, no one in this thread said or asked something as stupid as what you asked. yea its true i shouldof done a lil more research about the kit but damm if i would of have made a thread askin about it here i would of probably had your smart ass saying some dumm sh*t too, so what the f*ck?
master of the obvious.
to the other folks that posted in this thread, my bad! but this kinda response is just unnecesary.
i appreciate the others that gave me their feedback.
later.
