How hard would it be to add a A/A instead? Cheaper? I meant for future twin kits.

here is a good question for you rick. are you using the thicker pipping on this kit? if so do the newer manifolds with the thicker steel have less valve noise. mine is the older version and i can here the exhaust valves and it gets old. the tick tick tick all the time drives me crazy.

My KB log is built from thick stuff and it's still got the same old valve noise. In my experience, nothing short of the cast iron manifolds are going to be quiet in that regard.

It will be overall cheaper. The two cores by themselves are close to the same expense.

The noise is exhaust pulse in the crossover, manifold and downpipe.
Yes the thicker material is quiter then the gen 1 stuff like you have.
But having an exhaust pipe hi in the engine bay. Something you'll have.

How did you get the driver side down pipe between the steering shaft and plug wires/manifold? Where did you drop it down through at?

It routes between the steering shaft and frame rail. Not enough room to be on the other side of the steering shaft.

Hell I don't think I would have enough room over there either. Damn brakes take up a lot of room. **** is going everywhere with the hydro boost.
