Go easy on me as this is my first time posting in the kill section. Was out doing some test runs and logging when I ran into a fourth-gen Mustang GT (1999+ body style that I assume was stock, possible exhaust). Since I just fixed my exhaust leak I decided to see if he wanted to play. Followed him for a short bit through town and he kept blipping his throttle, so I assumed he knew I wanted to run. Got outside of town where it changes from 30 to 55 and he hit it. Blind corners so I just tucked in behind him at first. Then he made a left on a side street that heads into XXX with a really long flat straight. He hit it again while I was behind at about 30mph out of the corner. 2nd - 5th I walked right past him from behind and put about 2 cars to about 110mph. Threw him a :tup:, but he ignored me and turned the opposite direction at the end of the street. I just looked up their info and I guess it isnt too impressive since they run about 260hp /300ftlbs stock and trap 100mph in the quarter. I had never run a Mustang GT though. All in good fun. ---

LOL oops. Yea I hope you sorted your gasket issue this time, but we aren’t impressed with fitment on that header so I definitely don’t think it’s anything you’re doing wrong on the install.
