    Interesting, I see my thread got bumped again so Ill post an update. Im not wildly impressed overall. I think they headers were made slightly crooked in the jig or something, as they still sit pretty close to the clutch cable. It seems like they could be a hair closer to the frame/steering box instead of so close to the cable, if what Im saying makes sense. I put some OE quality heat wrap around the cable, but Ive had to go back and readjust it a couple times and it no longer has that silky smooth new feeling. Also, they leak at the collector, although I think thats more because I didnt put the flange exactly straight in line with the socket in hopes of getting a little more clearance.
