tek, im not sure where im having it painted yet. probably a guy from work.
the header is installed, and sounds prety good, but i think its leaking at the bottom. the orrigional midpipe flange has a lot of rust on it, so its not really true. i used two gaskets and gasket sealer and i think its still leaking. that was after grinding down the flange as best i could.
ill just have to wait till i get the borlas and new pipes on.
