OK OK OK.....I'm sorry <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> did any of the suggestions lead to anything yet? Is there a burr or rock that got mashed in the flange face?

I wouldn't consider you a troll. All love in fear and war. Just had to have some fun though. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Yeah I checked them on the last set.. I was also real careful to tighten then all even. i never had this problem and anything else i drove before. I guess I need to go and throwthe headers on. I have to watch my mouth if I am going to be the next Truck forum director. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

What kind of headers? I have shorties right now, but I am looking around for a mid or long tube setup right now. Depends on how nice Uncle Sam is to me next month. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

i am thinking about bassani straigt down then magnaflow race muffler and a turn down for heat reasons. I will make this system as short as possible. In arkansas we dont have to get our rides inspected so bye bye cats all together.

Why would you put race mufflers on something that isn't fast? You might as well put a 5" tip on the end also... <img border="0" alt="[gruffy cottonball]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_gruffy.gif" />
