Rant rave towards Dyntech headers. Thanks to Rod for having a tube expander in his tool box. There is no way in Hell that the tubes would go into the collectors. When the tabs are welded they distort the collector. As I'm getting older, I know why old men get cranky. Simply all the years of buying $hit that doesn't fit or work. Then after that a couple of the tabs from the tubes to the collectors are so far out of alignment that they have to be bent. I'm blown away on how there Q/C just doesn't exist. I guess I have stupid stamped on my forehead thinking a $1400.00 set of headers would go together without modifying them.

I'm sure Rod can fix most anything. I don't remember what he does for a living but he was born an engineer.That said, I can't think of anything I bought for my car the didn't need either the part or car modified even when it made specifically for my car! Anyway Props Rod! thumbs

Ha Ha Ha,,,,$1400 And you expect QC?? Unless you pay $2500 for custom built headers is a miricle if the fit is perfect!

I've seen some of Rods projects and am very impressed. Wished I had some of his welding skills!
