HI cobra,

Thanks for the info, I'm also changing out my 1990 factory mufflers to classic chambered 30" mufflers and turnouts. The elimination of backpressure and ceramic coating should help dramatically with lower upper header tube temps.

I looked at you gallery and have to say that I really like the aluminum plate you installed across the top of the firewall and hood latch area, looks great! and also hides some of the wiring, etc.
