I was gonna say you have to drill and tap your manifold. Thats how we all do it.

Nice!

Yeah smoke is wasted power and a heat maker.

i do have a tailgater tune that is stupid smokey for the dumbfuk drivers out there though.

450+ and 900 RW ftlbs is easy to make tune wise.

Did you ditch the stock exhaust yet?
