Rich, I have an S&S Headers system (two actually) sitting in my living room, ready to be put on Bev. Also, Mike Zehring is doing the same thing to his van so we ordered them directly from S&S (http://www.ssheaders.com/). I decided to go this route after seeing the installation on Chris Turner's Carat...the one he recently advertised. The installation looks clean, although Chris did mention that the guys at the shop had to do some bending or something...maybe he can elaborate. The price was right, so I'm willing to make it work. Mike's second set of eyes and hands will help as well, especially since he's done some exhaust work before. On an amusing note, my wife mentioned to me that the van sounds even louder after she took a trip with it to the dentist. Sure enough, the Y-pipe was no longer just cracked...but gone. :-) I guess that "Honk if anything falls off" bumper sticker that's on Bev had an application, but she said that nobody honked. :-) -Karl > Scott and Candis, > > What a timely question.
