Headers are gone, manifolds are installed.

Well, I spent most of yesterday removing the old rotted Hedman headers to make way for the new Crown Automotive exhaust manifolds. I spent about $40.00 on grade 8 mounting hardware, but it will be worth the money and time to have a quiet exhaust!

Hedman ELITE HTC headers, not very ELITE.

After 5 years:






These should last much longer than the headers.

Exhaust Work will begin October 29,2011

Well my third set of headers has rotted out. Decided to make the switch to factory exhaust manifolds with a single exhaust. This should cut down on heat inside the Jeep, and cut down on costs when it comes time to replace the muffler, and cat.

Saturday I plan to have the old headers removed, and the new manifolds installed. If I can get it done soon enough I might even be able to drop it off at the local muffler shop.

Once the exhaust is squared away, it is time to start fixing all the little stuff that has been breaking.

First on the List will be my heater switch, nothing worse in the winter then no heat.

Next I will drain my rear diff and fill with new fluids. To do that I will need to drill out the stuck bolts.


I have so much work to get done, before the bitter cold hits. Good thing I have a car stero in the garage :-).
