Re: Watson header install advice
Dave, you might look at dumping your Borla set up and going to a true 3" system.

Re: Watson header install advice
One question for you. What size are the primaries on the headers? If they are the 1 7/8" you won't need anything fot the dipstick. It fits with no problems. I'm not sure about the 2" Watson's though.
Here's mine, they are going on over the winter. Do yours look like this?Thanks again Ted.

For the 2" watsons you will probably need the adapter bracket for the dipstick

Re: Watson header install advice
Jeff - You're probably right. Ultimately I'd like to go with the full SSW system but for now the Borla system will have to stay. I like the look and sound of the Borla system but I've not had much to compare it with. Blackjack told me about a restrictor in the system that I will probably look at taking out while I'm doing this - some kind of disk at the front of the resonator I believe.
Hammer - the primaries are 2 inches. So I better get the gear to handle the dipstick. Ricky - that works for me. I'm going to be ordering the other stuff from Marc anyway so hopefully he can bundle it up at the same time. How do you want paying? Paypal is probably easiest from my perspective.

Not quite as fancy as yours, Hammer.

Re: Watson header install advice
the smell from the exhaust.. odd thing is the BLMs look to be 128 +/- 4 all the time.
I might just do the Resonator I had Al set up and try that first.

Re: Watson header install advice
Again Why? Just do: Headers, X-pipe, mufflers,Borla's are quiet enough. LT5 likes to breath why choke it up with rasonators and cats Pete
