I have a SS Header on my 91 GL. The previous owner had it put on a few months prior to my purchase. It's ok and I like the throaty sound. But... I've had to have some work done on it. A bracket broke off, thus needed wielding. Also, I fear I may have a small leak where it mates with the head just under the thermostat housing... When, not if, I have to replace it, I'll be going with stock... and Ditto on the fuel lines... Plus, get a Bentley Manual.... Jim On Mon, May 12, 2008 at 9:17 PM, Todd N.
